2024 Montana Recruits

[profisme]

2026 recruit. Also has a Texas Tech offer.

Yeah Matt will likely go down as the highest recruited Montana kid...ever. As a sophomore, he lines up at wildcat QB, lines up in-line as a traditional TE, plays the H-back role well, and also lines up on the outside and beats corners. All at around 240. Again...as a sophomore.

I know it was a bit before the national recruiting scene became as prevalent as it is now, but Mark Anderson from Lewistown has to be up there in the conversation. He was reportedly offered by Nebraska, Florida State, and a bunch of other huge programs before going to Stanford on a full-ride. He was a monster.

Played against him in high school my sophomore season his senior year. Monster in an understatement.

I didn't play football against him, but I did play against him in baseball and then again in college intramural softball once he transferred to MSU after he retired from football. I don't know which was more impressive, watching Jack Rolovich throw a softball or Mark hitting a softball, but both were damned impressive.

You could be right that Ludwig will be the highest recruited Montana kid - but Matt Miller, Ryan Leaf, and Brock Osweiler were all up there. Not sure it is a quantifiable metric, but if he ends up mentioned with a group like that, that's pretty good.

I’ll take Mark Gillman.

You mean Gilman?

Jackson Presley and Ludwig in the 2026 class is an all-time top of class.

Preseley just picked up an offer from Arkansas in January to go along with other P5 offers from Florida State and Arizona and possibly Washington soon since Fisch gave the Arizona offer.

Yep

Sounds a lot like Adam Corderio, He did everything in HS. Ran people over and past them.

And didn’t Cordero win the Class B state championship in the 100 before becoming a defensive lineman at MSU?

his Junior year he won 100, 200, 4X100M relay, shot put and discus. I don't believe he sprinted his senior year.

Had a chance to see Braden Zimmer play at the state basketball tournament for Billings West. We got a good one… He is slated to play offensive line and is already 6’6”. Needs to add some weight for college lineman but he is super athletic. He is the best post player I saw all year.

i see Andrew Burrows (Hamilton) - 6'2", 250 lbs. - OL/DL is still unsigned. He is listed as the 12th best player from the state last year. Is he just done with football?

I believe he committed to Idaho State for track.

The new Chick-Fil-A on campus can’t hurt recruiting ! That is some good stuff.

Have it from a reliable source that Thomas Buchanan (Red Lodge, '24) has joined the team as a QB effective immediately.

If they can develop him that would be awesome. I think he'll have a better shot developing elsewhere though.

I think so too. The QB room is pretty deep this year and next year. I hadn't watched Buchanan's Hudl before yesterday but he seems to move pretty well for a tall guy, maybe a tight end prospect.

[84CatGrad]

I believe Buchanan was asked to join the team when a backup QB left the program. Wasn't Reed, Duchien, or Wilson. Maybe Superales?
