However, he kept his options open and continued to explore colleges that would be able to give him the opportunity to continue his football career. Luther

Norse College was another he strongly considered.

“They were one of the first colleges to contact me and ask me to come down for a visit, and my uncle played there, as well. I got to ask him questions about the college and he said it was a great experience. I also have some family that lives down there,” Wyatt explained. Wyatt has officially decided on Luther Norse College in Decorah Iowa. He committed to playing football at Luther in February. Wyatt’s parents, Jen & Richard Bothe, are extremely excited for him. “His dad and I couldn’t be more proud! Wyatt has talked about playing football since he was 7 years old. With hard work and dedication he gets to continue doing what he loves. We are sure going to miss him, but we will be at every game and can’t wait to see what his future brings!” remarked Jen. His family members are definitely his biggest supporters. At every game you could see his parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and so many more of his relatives, whether it was football, basketball or baseball. “I’m glad he gets to achieve his dreams,” said Wyatt’s twin sister, Bryn.

Wyatt’s future is certainly bright as he gets ready to graduate on May 21, attend college in fall to get a degree in business, and play football. He was able to visit Luther Norse College in February and got to take a look at the campus that will be his home for the next 4 years. “I’m kind of sad he will be so far away, but I’m excited to watch him continue doing what he loves,” Jen said about the trip. Wyatt officially signed with the college on April 5th at 2:00pm at Ray High School.

“I’m just very excited and happy to get the chance to continue doing what I love,” said Wyatt.
