The Texas Lutheran Bulldogs are in the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time since 2014 behind an improved defense and quarterback Caden Bosanko.

Bosanko leads TLU to first postseason appearance in a decade

It was a late September evening in Alpine, Texas, when Caden Bosanko officially took over the Texas Lutheran offense. This wasn’t his first appearance in a game, but senior quarterback Seth Cosme had just departed the contest with a hamstring injury that would sideline him for the remainder of the 2023 season.

As if the situation wasn’t stressful enough for a sophomore who is now the leader of the offense, TLU had the ball at midfield, trailing Sul Ross State, 31-18, midway through the fourth quarter. Bosanko finished that drive with a touchdown and a two-point conversion. The next offensive drive was another touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the score at 34. While the Lobos won the game 37-34 with a walk-off field goal, the TLU coaching staff knew it had found a new starting quarterback.
