I am going to have a controversial know nothing armchair Coach opinion not worth the powder to blow it to hell, but I think as a whole, the MVFC is putting OL men into the NFL at pretty high rates. If it were me, and I was an elite level OT/OG/TE/C I would want to go where they are developing and producing NFL caliber talent on a consistent basis.
I am not a recruiter, and I know this isn't a recruiting thread, but for instance, this kid @CalebJacobs78 (on X) is a beast. I have watched him play for the last three years. This kid has four offers from WVU, Miami OH, University of Pikeville, and Gardner-Webb. There are dozens of kids like him that end up working in factories or the mines around here because they can't see a life outside of this place. This kid is probably going to WVU because they have a pipeline to WVU from Ironton. The point is, there is talent outside of the Pacific Northwest that would love the opportunity to play ball in a place like Montana.
