Becker took a step back in 2025 compared to previous seasons, but through their ups and downs, they continued to see growth out of their promising signal-caller, Tristan Kowalkowski Tristan Kowalkowski 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Becker | 2027 State MN . Kowalkowski finished with 1430 passing yards, 16 TDs, and 6 INTs while rushing for 118 yards and 7 TDs on the ground. Compared to his sophomore season, Kowalkowski’s passing volume increased greatly in 2025, relying more on a well-rounded style that relied on an emphasis of progressions and targeting seams and open windows in the secondary. Kowalkowski will look to increase his consistency in accuracy entering his senior season, but he continues to show considerable improvement in his mechanics.

Although the Becker offense was mostly focused on the run game last Friday night against Hutchinson, Tristan made the most of his opportunities when the Bulldogs did sling the rock downfield. Where Tristan appeared in my eyes to be more efficent was with the throws he was able to make outside of the pocket as that was I felt his best area last Friday as not only the quality of the throws he was able to make but the precision he had with his receivers to get penetration on the secondary on intermediate routes. Tristan just picked up his first FBS offer from Southern Miss this morning.
