BOBCATS BY THE NUMBERS: 89 Days Until Kickoff
6/3/2019 3:30:00 PM | Football
MSU has produced a lot of All-Big Sky 1st, 2nd or 3rd Team picks since 2007, but only one is on the list four times
June 3: In addition to a quick look at players wearing the jersey number corresponding to the number of days remaining until Montana State's season opener at Texas Tech on August 31, Bobcats by the Numbers brings you another tidbit or two aligning with that number.
#89
Jack Galt, FB/DL: Known for his competitiveness, Jack Galt helped lead White Sulphur Springs to a league title as a junior. He recorded 33.5 tackles last fall as a defensive tackle, and also played tight end. Galt is expected to play defensive line or fullback for the Bobcats.
89 – The number of First, Second or Third Team All-Big Sky selections for the Bobcats since the beginning of the 2007 season. On that entire list only one player's name appears four times – Chad Newell, twice for special teams and once each at running back and fullback. (Among others, the list would include DeNarius McGhee if expanded to include honorable mention selections.)
Chronology: Gary Dusenberry (1956), Frank LaMasse (1970-71), Bryan Flaig (1974-76), Dan Davies (1977-78), Neil Parker (1979), Kevin White (1980), Brent Baker (1982), Brent Bateman (1983-84), Scotty Neuman (1985), Toby Pettit (1986), Mike Schwartz (1987-88), Wade Rademacher (1989), Matt Huffield (1989), Jim Gersack (1992-93), Craig Zimmerman (1995), Jesse Marunde (1999, 2001), Demeadri Oliver (2000), Cody Samuelson (2002-03), Jaren Stensland (2004), Mike Van Gorden (2005), Josh Lewis (2006), Steven Foster (2008-11), Chris Houden (2012-13), Wilson Brott (2014-15), Clark Judisch (2016-18), Jack Galt (2019-)
Other 89 Notes: Bryan Flaig caught 71 passes wearing #89 for the Bobcats, more than runnerup Josh Lewis' 46 catches in 2006… Current MSU Associate Athletic Director Dan Davies proudly wore #89 for the Bobcats in 1977 and '78. Unlike many players, there was no story behind Davies' jersey choice. "I was just happy to have a number," the proud Chinook Sugarbeeter says with a smile.
