Bronson Barron hadn't played a football game in over three years when he made his college debut on Saturday. The true freshman quarterback started Weber State's season opener and helped lead the fourth-ranked Wildcats to a dominating 49-21 win at Idaho State Saturday in Pocatello.Â
For his performance, Barron was honored Sunday as the Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Week.Â
Starting at quarterback in his first collegiate game, Barron totaled 354 yards of total offense in leading the Wildcats. He was 17 of 27 passing for 312 yards and threw four touchdown passes. He had touchdown passes of 27, 55, 38 and 10 yards. He averaged 18.4 yards per completion.Â
He also had five rushing attempts for 42 yards. He helped the Wildcats total 638 yards of offense in the win.Â
The American Fork, Utah native originally signed with Weber State in February 2018. He returned in 2020 from serving a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Ghana.Â
Weber State is off this week with the next scheduled game at home on March 13 against UC Davis.Â
