Bertrand has a bright future ahead of him after an All-State career at Kearney High School in Nebraska. He was named one of the state’s top offensive lineman by Sports Illustrated during his junior season.
Throughout the summer, we will be counting down the days
to the return of Wazzu Football this fall. The Cougs will take on Washington
