I posted this on another thread, but I'll start this over here.

Who are your top Montana H.S. FB players since 2009? I used 2009, because I wanted to only include those who are currently in H.S. or college, and haven't graduated from college - this eliminates obvious choices for all time lists, like Dickenson, Bierman, Collins, etc.

I know a little bit about AA Football over the past 10 years (not as much about this years season/class).

In my opinion, the players that have had the biggest individual impact over the past few years are in this order:
1- Matt Miller
2- Tanner Roderick
3- Caleb Kidder
4- Gunnar Brekke
5- Dylan Simac
6- current QB from Butte (name slips me right now)
7- current DE/TE from Bozeman, Dissly
8- Jake Bleskin
9- Devin Jefferies (yes, I think he belongs on this list)
10- Sean Blomquist

Who are yours? And in what order? Who did I forget about (my list is obviously a little Helena biased) ? I don't know as much about the other levels of FB, so fill me in.

Great idea for a thread. I agree with all of your picks, but I would change the order and add a few to the list.
1- Matt Miller
2- Tanner Roderick
3- Caleb Kidder
4- Gunnar Brekke
5- Dylan Simac
6- Brock Osweiler (if we are going back to 2009)
7- current DE/TE from Bozeman, Dissly
8- current QB from Butte (name slips me right now) His name is Dallas Cook.
9- Jake Bleskin
10- Devin Jefferies (yes, I think he belongs on this list) AGREED
11- Sean Blomquist
12-Ben Weyer-Bozeman High DL/OL. We lost him to the Griz, but he is a flat out player. Will grow into a mammoth OL. Was a force on both sides of the ball for 3 seasons.
13-Cody Carriger- Butte High WR. Insane Athlete. Plays DE at Oregon now. http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml ... =205503987
14-Hunter Gappmeyer RB Bozeman. Solid player. Tons of production in the run and pass game. Picks up tough yards for crucial 1st downs.

I like some of the choices.
I forgot about Weyer...you're right, he should definitely be on the list. Don't know Gappmeyer as much (as I said, not as familiar with AA FB this year.
Osweiler should be on the list, but since I only wanted guys who are currently in H.S. or college, I didn't include him.
Definitely disagree on Carriger. He is a good athlete, big and fast. But I did not think he was a good football player. Oregon may see something different in his potential, but as far as individual impact on a game, I never saw it from Carriger. Just my opinion.

Keep em rollin.

There are just a ton of kids who can be on this list. Nolan Saraceni and Chad Newell from Senior High could easily be in the mix too.

Matt Miller nobody is even close

Obviously Roderick or Brekke

Miller and NOBODY is close



Then Kidder but he is still WAY WAY back

For truth.

Jesse Simms - Stevinsville will be the most highly recruited player since Miller.

Miller
Daly
Kidder
Brekke

the Thomas kid from Kalispel is going to make some noise in the coming years.
