BOZEMAN, Montana — Montana State’s prized possession enters his senior season with the second-most rushing touchdowns in the history of Bobcat football, trailing only the “Frenchtown Freight Train” when it comes to crossing the goal line.
Only five Bobcats have more 100-yard single-game rushing efforts, only five have scored more points and only eight have more rushing yards.
A replication of the unforgettable, unorthodox 2018 season would place MSU’s do-everything All-American ahead of Ryan Johnson and Cody Kirk on Montana State’s all-time list for career rushing yards and would move him ahead of Kirk and into the upper echelon of touchdown scorers in the history of the Big Sky Conference.
“The kid is a freak athlete and he could play any position on the field. I truly believe that,” former Montana State tight end Conner Sullivan said during that 2018 season. “Whatever the coaches think he is going to play to help our team win. I have 100 percent confidence in him. He’s a freak athlete who can do it all.”
As Portland State All-American defensive back Anthony Adams sat at the Big Sky Kickoff media event in Spokane, he reflected on the last time his Vikings hosted Montana State in Portland.
“All I know is that was the most miserable day of my life,” Adams said. “You literally can’t tackle that dude and he got the ball on every single play.
“I’m so glad he’s not playing offense anymore.”
