Ha if it were that easy then UM or MSU would land every single kid they offer. There are hundreds of reasons kids choose a school. To beat out 16 other known offers regardless of anything else is outstanding.

More of this please. Great news! Looks like a wrecking ball. Running backs should be excited!
Pretty good read on Forbes, sounds like he wants that center spot.

Mmm not quite but Forbes is a great pickup. However, JD Quinn was a bit bigger but most importantly he was an all conference type player for the Oklahoma Sooners that had FBS playing experience that transferred to us because of troubles and didn’t want to sit out a year. FCS schools these days just don’t get those type players anymore

Looks like they are about the same according to: Miami Dolphins to sign ex-Oklahoma Sooners lineman J.D. Quinn

“There were also some parallels between the way Nebraska fans and Montana fans love football. Montana’s fan base is incredible. They reached out to me and congratulated me and welcomed me to the community. That’s really what drew me there: just the community reception of me and the ability to go out there and play some really good football.”
Way to go Griz fans...he wasn't settled when the offer came, but after the offer and before he committed, our fan base helped make the difference!

"Another transfer Nebraska offensive lineman is headed to the FCS
AJ Forbes joins ex-teammate Xavier Trevino in the FCS ranks."
"Earlier this month, three Nebraska offensive linemen entered the football transfer portal. A couple of days later, one of those, Xavier Trevino, tweeted his move to FCS North Dakota. This week, a former Trevino teammate, AJ Forbes, tweeted he’s moving on to FCS Montana.
“This process has been more stressful than I could have imagined, but I’m very grateful,” the lineman wrote. “Thank you to all the coaches across the country that decided to take a chance on this Walk-On from Bellevue, NE.
“I’m thankful to continue this journey at… THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA.”
Forbes joined the Nebraska football team as a walk-on in 2018. He didn’t play a down for the Cornhuskers those two seasons. The lineman did, though, travel with the team on four road trips."
