Colin Hammock, OL: Colin Hammock's real-life resume pretty much exactly reflects his football resume. A highly-intelligent player, Hammock has the ability to move into pretty much any role he may be called upon to get the Cats out of a series or a game, and has value as a guard long-term. A highly-intelligent person, Hammock is a brilliant student who earned an initial Cameron Presidential Scholarship as a continuing student from MSU, has a list of service and leadership activities that take about a month to read through, and has his sights set on medical school.
Spotlight – Mike Person: There are your average, run-of-the-mill days. There are good days. And then there are days like the one Mike Person enjoyed on April 30, 2011. Late that afternoon, with his father Jim, the unassuming Glendive product watched the San Francisco 49ers select him in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. A few hours later, he became the first Bobcat in nearly a decade to win the Montana AAU Little Sullivan Award as the state's top amateur male athlete. For the next seven seasons Person lived his dream by playing in the NFL, and he enters 2018 back with the team that drafted him. All of this comes on the heels of one of the finest playing careers in Bobcat football history. Person started his last 40 games as a Bobcat, earning First Team All-Big Sky honors twice and becoming a consensus All-America as a senior. A team captain his senior season, Person's unrelenting intensity and passion helped spur the team to that 2010 conference championship.
