Jerry Louie-McGee, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound wide receiver from Coeur d’ Alene’s Lake City High will join the Montana football team as a walk-on.
Louie-McGee has been admitted to the university and will join the team for fall camp in August.
With the addition of Louie-McGee, Montana will enter fall camp with 19 receivers.
A 5-A All-Idaho selection, Louie-McGee played several positions in Lake City’s wide-open spread offense. Out of the backfield, he rushed for 757 yards and seven touchdowns. As a receiver, he finished with 1,104 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
Louie-McGee, who ran a 48.64 second 400 meters to win the Idaho 5A title as a junior, also returned two punts and two kickoffs for touchdowns and averaged more than 47 yards per kick return as he was selected the Inland Empire League’s Most Valuable Player.
“He was a playmaker for us. He’s a three-year starter and in the 21 years I’ve been here I’ve only had 10 three-year starters,” said Lake City coach Van Troxel, who was a quarterback at Montana in the 1970s.
Lake City finished the regular season 8-1 before losing to Mt. View in the semifinals of the 5A playoffs. Division 5A is Idaho’s largest prep division.
“He makes people miss and he has great determination,” said Troxel, whose son, Matt, now the offensive line coach at Idaho State, was a receiver at Montana from 2004-07. “My favorite play this year, he caught about a 45-yard pass and scored against Post Falls. There was a block behind the play and they called it back. He was pissed off and he was coming back up the sidelines and said, ‘Give me the ball.’ I called a little bubble screen and he goes 55 yards for a touchdown and breaks about four or five tackles. He’s got that kind of desire.”
Troxel said Louie-McGee was recruited heavily by NAIA and Division II schools. Louie-McGee looked into joining his brother, Tucker, at Idaho State, but was told he was too small. (BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ISU Steps on a banana again)
