Good morning everyone,

First off, I want to express my appreciation to everyone who's been along my football journey. From highschool, to my first two years in college, I’ve been very fortunate to have such a supportive community. I’ve had a great and memorable time playing football for the Montana Grizzlies led by an incredible coaching staff. Being apart of this program was an incredible experience for myself. Griz football has taught me very valuable lessons. It’d taught me how discipline results in resilience.
The early mornings and long days were very rewarding, but also very straining. Over time I realized that my path is starting to shift in a different direction.
With that being said, I made a difficult decision to quit football and to fully focus on my academic career. I promise this wasn’t an easy choice, but it is one I believe in. My journey now is becoming a pharmacist. I’m excited for this new chapter in my life with an opportunity to grow academically and personally. I will always be grateful for the lessons, opportunities and memories football has given me. Thank you all for your support. You’ve made my journey as a Montana Griz one of a lifetime.
Go Griz

Seems like a great kid, with a good head on his shoulders. I have no doubt he'll be successful.
 
TRR is a great representative for his people, culture, hometown.

He has his priorities in the right order. He was a 4.0 GPA in high school, now has two years experience in college. I'm sure he has talked with upper division Pharmacy students and Instructors, so he has a pretty good idea of the hours needed each week, classroom, reading, lab time. He knows how much time he has to put in to be a Griiz football player. He probably did the 'math' and thought, 'There aren't that many hours in a week!' This is a Pharm.D. degree. Griz lose a great and dedicated player, and fan favorite, but Browning will gain a Pharmacist, and will be an inspiration to the Blackfeet Nation.

Good for him. That's a respectable decision and I wish the best for him.

The Pharmacy program is no joke. Very demanding and especially time intensive. I can't imagine going through that program while putting in the hours needed to excel on the field. Tough, but smart, choice.

Man I tried pre-pharm and had to change my major. The chemistry classes alone were brutal. I wasn't exactly a slouch student. Trying to get through that program with four kids and working part-time was literally impossible. I couldn't imagine trying to do it playing football with all of the time commitments. Actually, I can imagine it. Is Cracolice still teaching? That dude was brutal.
