Academics: Business
Omorogbe on Montana State: “What really stuck out the most was the players on the team and what they think of the coaches speak volumes. They have been there and they have been in my future position. Hearing what they have to say, along with what the coaches had to say was huge.
“It’s a good group of guys, the right group of guys to do what we need to do at Montana State, get the job done to win a national championship. That was the most important part: getting a feel for the teammates and what we can accomplish together.”
