Woodland head coach Glen Flanagan raves about his senior lineman Treyton Busig.
“Yeah, he’s just an athlete!”
“Our O-line, they’re not big guys and our D-line, we just got kind of the 6-foot-1, 6-foot-2, 205, 210 pounders.”
“But he’s one of them. He just flies around. He has a huge motor.”
“His get off the line of scrimmage is awesome.”
“He doesn’t quit.”
“And so that’s why we’re successful, our line on both sides dominate.”
Busig, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound two-way starter in the trenches, has a relentless motor on the football field. Watching Busig play the game would make any fan of football very proud. He plays whistle-to-whistle, sideline to sideline, and doesn’t take a play off. What that last statement references is sometimes, when a play is called to the opposite side of the field and you’re lined up away from the play, the tendency for some is to take it easy and not engage fully. Busig is not wired that way. He plays his offensive and defensive line positions as though each play is his last, seeking out an opponent to block, or make a tackle with only the referee’s whistle stopping him. The motor Busig has built did not come easy.
“Yeah, I mean we really worked hard, especially the last few weeks,” Busig said. “We have these things called Blood Mondays and we just run and run and run. As we built through the season, all this cardio we built, I’ve gotten better and better and am able to play through on both sides.”
The Woodland Beavers clinched a league championship with their 40-3 victory over Ridgefield on Friday, Oct. 30. Busig is appreciative of all that has transpired this season for his teammates and himself, with the league championship obtained, and the post season up next.
“It’s great to see us have a great game and a great season,” Busig said. “It’s just amazing.”
Once the football season concludes, Busig will set his sights towards the Track and Field season in the spring. Busig throws the discus, and last season was his first season competing in the discus circle. Last season, his personal best throw was 140 feet. Busig says he believes he is currently ranked 11th in the Washington 2A classification coming into this upcoming 2027 season.
During school hours, business marketing is Busig’s favorite class. He enjoys learning about the multitude of aspects such as liability and risk management as it relates to businesses and business marketing. Busig carries a 3.2 grade point average and has an open mind for his post 2027 high school graduation.
“If something comes up like an offer for any sport, I’d probably take it if it’s close to home,” Busig said. “But if not, I’m pursuing real estate. I’ve been looking into it and have family who are in it.”
Busig represents the Woodland community with pride. He smiles big and speaks enthusiastically about Woodland and all who reside there.
“I’m so stoked,” Busig said. “I mean I probably know 20% of them, I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but that’s a lot of people. It’s just great to win for them.”
The support from the Woodland community means so much to Busig in return.
“It’s great,” Busig said. “They’re amazing people. All of them are just great people.”
