What a Day: Tyler Huck '26 Walks During Commencement, Runs with Hearts of Pine

By Bowdoin News

It is the goal of many college seniors to have a job lined up after graduation. Tyler Huck took that to heart.

Tyler Huck '26 walked across the stage at Commencement in his cap and gown to receive his diploma and hours later was in his Portland Hearts of Pine kit starting in a USL League One match against the Greenville Triumph SC.

The Division III Academic All-American, who signed with Hearts of Pine earlier this year, capped his whirlwind day by earning Man of the Match honors in a hard-fought 1-1 draw, having put on a quite a show for family and friends on a day he will certainly never forget.

The WCSH newsmagazine 207 was on the quad and the pitch to capture all of the action.

Tyler Huck '26 appeared on WCSH's 207. Watch the segment.

Check out these images of Huck's big day.
