"It’s named for Robinson, a former schoolteacher and the wife of legendary Grambling State University coach Eddie Robinson, who championed the values represented by the award of leadership and integrity. During his career at Montanan, Botner has lived up to those values and more.
Now a graduate student in his final season at UM, Botner has overcome adversity and injury to earn a starting job at center on one of the greatest offenses in program history. He’s done it all while completing three degrees, a minor (in physics, no less), and a professional certificate with an eye toward becoming an orthopedic surgeon.
He has mastered the art of balancing student-athlete demands on a playoff-caliber team while maintaining that same standard of excellence off the field.
He’s also logged nearly 50 hours of community service in the precious few spare moments he has in his life, with volunteer hours put in at everything from high school sporting events to neighborhood leaf raking, to helping lead the charge on Griz football’s most high-profile community service activity."

For selfish reasons, I would love to see Dillon, Hunter or both attending medical school here in Billings at The Montana College of Osteopathic Medicine, Montana's first and biggest medical school, because both are outstanding young men and would enrich the large and growing medical hub here serving South-Central and Eastern Montana, Northern Wyoming and Western North and South Dakota with our two Level One Trauma Centers serving this region and the entire State of Montana--whatever city or town these two Grizzlies end up attending medical school and then practicing medicine will be lucky and blessed because I believe both Dillon and Hunter will be exemplary physicians !!!
