Brendan Tighe brings veteran safety play, ball production, and captaincy to UNH
In the 2024 season, graduate safety Brendan Tighe was a steady two-way defender for New Hampshire, starting all 12 games he played, finishing with 55 tackles, two interceptions, and a forced fumble while leading the Wildcats in picks.[1] His best traits are instincts, reliability, and playmaking in key moments—he’s the kind of back-end defender who can erase mistakes, rally the secondary, and set a tone as a team captain for 2025.[1][4][5]
