""It was real simple for us," Andrus said. "He was available. He has great statistics at Montana. He fits our mold in terms of what we’re looking for in certain wide receiver positions. He’s very similar to a guy that played for us and has done well, Jordan Suell out of Southern Oregon. Jordan went to pro days, never got a chance NFL-wise because he doesn’t have that over-the-top speed. Sammy is similar to that. But what he does is he’s a disciplined receiver, runs good routes and is willing to block."
Andrus was tipped off about Akem by former Griz wide receiver Brandon Maguire, who is the Stars' defensive line coach, he said. Maguire was in Missoula a couple weeks ago and met with UM defensive line coach Barry Sacks, who played with Andrus at UM in the late 1970s, and head coach Bobby Hauck."
