ROCK SPRINGS, WYOMING — Brock Bider signed his letter of intent tonight and will be going to Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado to play football in the 2022-23 school year for Coach Kochevar and the Mavericks. 

When asked why he made the decision to go to Colorado Mesa University, Bider mentioned that “it just felt right and had a good vibe compared to the other schools I visited.” The college showed him a lot of interest and he knew that many of the coaches had also played there. Brock has an interest in either studying Finance or possibly Business while attending school, but said he was still undecided. He is excited about a new start, new friends and new coaches as he moves forward.

“I had the best teammates you could ask for. Many of us played from our youth league days until senior year. One key to our success was sticking together and working our tails off,” Bider said. His favorite aspect of football was hanging out with his friends, the bonds made, the coaches and how all of this will help him later in life when it comes to teamwork and leadership.

Brock Bider had a very successful football career as a student at Rock Springs High School. Brock has a 3 letter recipient in Football, a 3-year letter recipient in basketball, and 2 letters in Track and Field. He is a member of the National Honor Society, Tigers for Literacy, the Fire, Law and Leadership Academy and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

During his senior year in high school, he set 10 school records which included: All-Conference, All-State, Offensive Player of the Year for our Conference and 2nd Team Super 25 and Quaterback for 2022 Shrine Bowl, 127 most completions in a season, 27 most completions in a game, 244 most completions in a career, 1,769 most yards gained in a season, 3,440 most yards gained in a career, 4 most TD passes in a game, 21 most TD passes in a season, 33 most TD passes in a career, 68.2% best passing percentage for season and 2,115 total offense in the season.

“I would like to thank Coach Mark Lenhardt for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to be the RSQB #1. Coach Lenhardt spent countless hours with me and putting me in a place where I could be successful. Coach Lenhardt is like no other Coach I’ve had, he takes the time to build relationships with the players on and off the field and brings an atmosphere of success and high expectations. Every athlete that works with Coach knows he’s got your back and we’d do anything for that guy.  I cannot say thank you enough to Coach and his wife Kim, thank you for picking Rock Springs High School Football,” Bider stated.
