WKU football lands graduate transfer quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome

WKU Athletics announced Sunday that graduate transfer quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome has signed with WKU Football. Pigrome – a Birmingham, Alabama, native – was previously with the University of Maryland, where he accumulated 2,407 total yards of offense in 34 games, seven of those being starts.

With the addition of Pigrome, WKU offensive coordinator Bryan Ellis adds more talent, depth and competition to a quarterback room that includes returning Hilltoppers Davis Shanley and Kevaris Thomas, as well as incoming true freshmen Darius Ocean and Grady Robison.

As a freshman for the Terrapins in 2016, Pigrome appeared in 11 games – including a start versus Minnesota – totaling 322 yards passing and two touchdowns.
