Varga to debut against Bills

2015-09-08


Kitchener native, Tyler Varga has made the Indianapolis Colts 53-man roster and will be primed for his NFL debut against the Buffalo Bills on September 13.

He’s currently listed as the fourth running back on the Colts’ depth chart and will likely contribute on special teams.

Varga is an alumnus of the 2010 Football Canada Cup, representing Team Ontario West in Wolfville, Nova Scotia where he was named the tournament’s offensive MVP.

As a true freshman with the Western Mustangs in 2011, Varga won the CIS Rookie of the Year Award. He rushed for a league leading 15 touchdowns and 799 yards – second most in the OUA and fifth most in CIS.

Following his freshman season, the aspiring doctor transferred to Yale to play in the Ivey League.

In 10 games this season Varga rushed for an impressive 1,423 yards and 22 touchdowns. He added 12 catches, four of which were for touchdowns to set a new single-season school record of 26 majors. What’s even more impressive is in 9 out of 10 of his games this season he rushed for over 100 yards. During his career at Yale, Varga hit the century mark during a game 17 times in 24 total games.

This season he was a unanimous selection as first team All-Ivy in addition as a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, presented to the most outstanding FCS player.
