2025 Montana Recruits

[kwcat]

Speaking of Luke Oxarart, is there a reason that Brady Armstrong from Jefferson is not getting offers. Saw he just won the 215 weight class at State wrestling and finished 40-0 on the season. Showed off his athleticism after with a cartwheel and flip. Benches 375, Squats 500, cleans 315 and has a 3.85 gpa. Also all state defensive line.

Probably because he is 5'9".

Matt Brownlow ish

Where would you play somebody who is 5’9, 215, and not exactly fast? I would guess that’s the main reason.

How do you know he is not fast? I am not expecting him to run a blazing 40, but I saw a pretty special athlete wrestle. Seems hard to believe that a freak athlete at 5’9” who looked lean and solid could not contribute at the Frontier level. At least at Fullback. I was just surprised that he did not even appear on the overall Montana recruits lists.

He self reports a 4.9, so you can probably assume a bit slower than that. He seems very strong, and a good football player and great wrestler. I’m not trying to be negative at all, I’m just really not sure where he’d project to play. One of those really good tweeners that just doesn’t really project to college football. I know nothing about wrestling, but maybe he has a future there?

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one that saw some potential.

I think Tech has offered every senior in MT.

Can he long snap? A guy like that barreling downfield on punts or kickoffs could be pretty destructive. Not sure how the Cats look for that position in 2025. At 5'9" he could be a fullback/short yardage specialist? Agree with BB though, hard to project to FCS ball. If he gets a scholly at MT Tech, take it and make it!

So looking back through this what's crazy is there is one commit to Rocky off this whole list and none to Northern. Is Jerome just really sucking up in Havre? Is that Gary kid maybe committed to Northern since he's the highest ranked without a commitment?

That is interesting. You don't see many kids even post offers from Northern. If they did then maybe he just loses out, but hopefully he is offering MT kids. Better chance they stay. Dickinson seems to be getting a lot of hi line and eastern mt kids.

Dickenson has always out recruited Montana schools in those areas (as long as memory serves)

Well, like most North Dakota schools, they have to go out of state to find their talent. Last year, Dickinson had around 53 kids from Montana on their roster and 29 from North Dakota.

And i heard Dickonson is in the same conference as Tech/Carroll/ Western/rocky/Northern. So they'll have ample opportunity to play in Montana.

Different conference, but Dickinson does seem to play 1 or 2 Frontier conference games per year (whether in the regular season or playoffs). Also, for everything East of Havre, it is the same or closer for family to get to than any other school other than Rocky/Northern.

That's a shrewd move by Dickinson. Should get even more MT kids than ever before. MT may be as good to them as MN has been to NDSU...
