A look at the number 89 in Bobcat Football history...
Bobcats by the Numbers takes a look at current and past Bobcats whose jersey numbers correspond to the number of days remaining before Montana State opens the 2021 football season at Wyoming on September 4.
#89
Ethan Bullock, TE: Big Timber's Ethan Bullock redshirted as a rangy, athletic tight end in 2019, and has opened eyes in the time since. He earned all-state honors twice in football, and and helped lead the Herders to leagues titles in basketball as a junior and football as a senior.
89 – The number of First, Second or Third Team All-Big Sky selections for the Bobcats since the beginning of the 2008 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), Ethan Bullock (2020-)
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.
