Ben is a really, really good football player. If he wasn't 5'10", 165 lbs., he would've been offered a scholarship at RB by both the Cats and Griz. He was Class A's leading rusher in 2017.

In 11 games at RB and LB:

Rushing: 1,676 rushing yards on 193 carries (152.4/game and 8.7/carry) for 23 touchdowns
Receiving: 279 receiving yards on 16 catches for 3 touchdowns

Defense: 58 tackles (48 solo), 8 TFLs, 6 sacks, 2 interceptions

Here is his senior season tape:

Tech got a good one. I was impressed with the way Voss played this year.

Im closing in on my final Top 50 list of MT recruits for the class of 2018, but there still is some time until they come out, so I thought I’d start a thread over in the High School tab with a Montana All Class “All-Star” team roster. And I’d just put together who I would want on a team made up of the 2018 class. So pretty much the MT side of the MonDak game. And others can put together a roster of their own! Thought it'd be something to discuss until the Final comes out

Tanner and Corbin Wood signed with Dickinson State. The twins were two of the best players in Class C the past two seasons. They are both around 6'0", 180 lbs. and they are in that Safety/Outside Linebacker range for a future position on defense. On offense, Tanner played QB/RB and Corbin was a RB/WR. Both were All-State the past two years. Anyway, Tanner and Corbin had interest from UM and possibly MSU as walk-ons. Good luck to them. They will be busy with All-Star games this next summer.

Riley doesn't quite have the speed to play at the FCS level but he is a bigger back at 5'10", 205 lbs. He was also very productive his final two years in high school for the Scobey Spartans. I understand its 8-man but Riley dominated. Riley played in a tough 8-Man East conference but still produced against every team. In a game against Plentywood, he had 15 carries for 326 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns. He finished his high school football career against Belt in the 1st round of the playoffs where he ran for 221 yards on 32 carries for 2 touchdowns.

2017 - 177 carries for 1,996 yards for 39 rushing touchdowns (199.6 rushing yards per game)
2016 - 121 carries for 1,359 yards for 24 rushing touchdowns (169.9 rushing yards per game)

In 2017, he also had 20 tackles for a loss and 8 sacks as a linebacker. Anyway, good for Riley. One of the Top 15-20 RB's in the state.

They really put the kid from Capital on this team? I hope he wasn't leading the charge against Helena high when the Helena IR reported, "It would be the first of eight Capital personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct calls, totaling 120 penalty yards."

There's better players at LB.

Probably on there because he’s good enough. On field antics aside, Schneider was one of the best LBs in the state.

DSU adds another talented MT prospect. Aaron has a lot of tools to work with at the QB position. Played hurt all year in 2017 and still put up great numbers. Has great arm talent as he can hit throws at all three levels of a defense. Will be working under a very good QB coach in Nick Walker at Dickinson State. I felt Aaron was a PWO candidate at QB in this in-state class. Good luck to him.

Good lists, although I think you each have a Capital High kid a bit too high, with Connor and Seth.
Both very good players but I don't think top 5. Connor didn't even play half the season with an injury so I don't know how he beats out some of the other kids in the top 10 this year.
But just my opinion, everybody's got one.
