ELEVATED EXPECTATIONS: Toure still searching for ceiling entering sophomore season

on

Editor’s Note: This is the fourth installment in Skyline Sports’ ELEVATED EXPECTATIONS series profiling Griz football player who are likely to see elevated roles this season for Montana. 

PART I: Local walk-on tackle Keintz continues rapid improvement

PART II: Eastwood follows Hauck north to Montana

PART III: With Buss injured, Lewis rises among Griz linebackers

One word comes to Keenan Curran’s mind when he thinks about Samori Toure, his teammate and fellow Montana Grizzly receiver.

“I would say he’s kind of a savage,” Curran said, emphasizing it slightly as though he’s not sure the reporter will understand what he means. “He has that dog mentality where he’s going to go get everything, and I saw that when he was a freshman. I saw that right when he got here. He had to earn everything. He wasn’t the guy that came in on full scholarship. He had to earn his way.”
