On the Griz radar for the 2015 recruiting class is current Butte High sophomore WR Dalton Daum, one of the faster sprinters in the state. He's beaten the current Montana Football Gatorade Player of the Year (2013 cat football commit Gunnar Brekke, RB/DB/WR) in a couple races (100, 200) I've seen this track season. Daum is not just "one of those track guys" though that tries to play WR that you sometimes see. You know, guys that are straight line fast and just run deep sideline routes. He is a football player, that runs all the routes and shows great ball skills on every type of route. In the 2012 championship game versus Bozeman, as a Soph, Daum showed his ability to win his one-on-one battle at the line-of-scrimmage in press coverage and haul in a 95 yard touchdown bomb...

...the 95 yard play was not stopped, but was later called back for an "illegal procedure" penalty supposedly just prior to the snap.
Daum's Soph season: 60 Rec 894 yards 8 td -- he also averaged 4.7 yards a rush.
Had the 95 yard touchdown stood, Daum would have had just shy (989) of a 1,000 yard Soph reception season. Not bad for tieing for #2 in receptions on the team with SR Jon Allen at 60. 1st team All-State went to the #1 pass catcher on BHS which was SR Bryce Armstrong with 72 catches.
Daum was the first guy on the 2nd team All-State honors list at WR (the only Soph to make the list out of the 13 wide recievers honored).
With Daum being the main WR the next 2 seasons in Butte with the number one offense and MVP QB for another year, it's safe to say Daum will have a pretty prolific HS career and is a "safe bet" to be on the Griz "radar". :lol:
