Kentucky Derby-winning trainer John Servis wanted to name a horse afte🍃r Tyson Bagent months before most football fans had ever heard of the now-viral NF🐻L quarterback.
At the time, Bagent was a two-time NCAA Division II Player of the Year at Shepherd University in West Virginia who was⛄ trying to beat the odds and make it to the NFL.
So, what was the right name to choose that would celebrate💎 the underdog journey of his wife’ꦗs cousin’s son?
That question was answered when a friend in the horse-racing business sent Servis a copy of the April 14, 2023 edition of the New York Post. A story ranking the top quarterbacks available in the 2023 NFL Dra꧒ft class identified Bagent as a “Small School Wonder.”
