This article recaps a segment from The Rush's Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026 episode. Watch the full show.
Bear River's Glaiden Behrens does a little of everything. He catches touchdowns, has thrown one, runs the ball, blocked a field goal and returned an interception for a touchdown in a 48-20 win at Deseret Peak.
On the pick six, Behrens was playing a deep third at cornerback and read the quarterback before the snap. "He looked at that side I think three times before they snapped the ball, so I knew it was coming our way," he said. "As soon as he broke and I looked at the quarterback, it was coming. So I just broke on the ball and caught it and broke a tackle and went all the way."
Not every quarterback is that easy to read. Behrens said Stansbury's was "super hard to read," and the Stallions' secondary was the toughest he has faced. "They were really good at just staying on you, being physical," he said. "They definitely watched a lot of film on what we were planning on doing."
He praised cornerback Karson Summers, who "played really forward, really physical, played fast" against Deseret Peak. He also credited lineman Tegean Mohr, who stepped in at left tackle after a teammate was disqualified. "That's not a position he's been playing," Behrens said. "But he stepped up for the team and I thought he got the job done."
His touchdown pass was a play his coach brought up in practice. "I said I could throw it," Behrens said. "If it was there I was going to throw it, and if it wasn't I was going to run it, and it was there."
Bear River is 6-3 after a turnaround season under new coaches. "I'm super proud of our team," Behrens said. "We play more as a team instead of individuals." What he takes the most pride in is "making a play when a play needs to be made." Heading into the playoffs, he wants the Bears to start faster.
