Safeties!!

I love the ‘staches in the video and the comment about “beautiful state of Montana”. Besides Gordon, they hail from Fairfield, P-burg, Missoula, Hamilton, and Frenchtown.

Looks like the the depth chart will be:
Nickle: Gordon, Klucewich​
Strong: Meyer, Rausch​
Field: Lee, Rostad​
 
Lee totaled 49 tackles, 3.5 TFLs, three passes defended, two interceptions and one fumble recovery last season, all career highs. He returned one fumble and one interception for a touchdown last year.
"At the end of the year, Jaxon was probably playing better than anybody in the back end, so good for him," Bobby Hauck said. "I thought that Jaxon came a million miles last year and really played well the second half of the season."

Lee is essentially a returning starter. He took over that spot late in the year and started the UNDSU game.

Lee was fourth in the Big Sky in interception return yards and led the league in average return yards. Would have been #1 if his fumble return counted as and interception return. If he gets his hands on the ball, it’s going to be a party.

Arguably the best ball carrier on the defensive side of the ball.

Lee was originally recruited as a running back after two state championships at P-burg and then transferring to Sentinel and starting them on their run of success as an RB.

In his second state chipper, he had 246 yards and 3 picks and his total would have been well over 300 if return yards were included.

Titans claim second straight 8-man state title

BUTTE – Had renowned comic book artist Stan Lee ever created a football super hero, he just might have named him Jaxon.Titan junior Jaxon Lee, filling in for injured senior tailback Colby Manley, scored four touchdowns and had three interceptions to lead the Flint Creek Titans to a 50-14 win...

"Chrishawn Gordon echoed the sentiment of readiness and ambition. "I'm coming in just trying to do whatever the coaches need me to do, whether that's covering their best receiver, coming down making tackles or just making big plays. So I'm just here to help win a national championship," he said."
 
The D has some new guys and holes to fill from last year, but the D seems to have good players and depth at all positions. I suppose it may take some time for them to get up to speed, playing well together, and able to react quickly and fly to the ball. Can't wait to see the first game and then the next few.

Listening to Hauck talk, listening to Roger Cooper with Riley, and talking to the players, it’s very clear there’s a consensus that the coaching staff hit on basically every defensive transfer Montana added this off season. I think they expect huge contributions from particularly Pat Hayden and Andres Lehmann on the DL, Vai Kaho at LB, Gordon, Kenzel Lawler and probably Prince Ford on the secondary.

Also won’t be surprised if Caleb Otlewski cracks the rotation up front.

The other new addition, who isn’t a transfer, who has a chance to play is Kyon Loud. He’s been the standout rookie on the defensive side of the ball all camp.

Thanks for the good info. I had to look up the last 2 mentioned. I briefly met some of the others over the summer, and they all seemed to be excited, wanted to get to Frisco and win, had multiple other good offers, and seemed like great kids. After seeing your post, it looks like there are even more of them than I realized.
 
"I think we're a really physical group," Lee said. "A lot of times people look at safeties and they think they're just covering man and getting their in zone drops. But, I mean, we're fitting up the run and we're fitting up tight ends all the time, and we're messing them up too. We're not just fitting them up. So I think we're a really physical group."
