#36
Quincy Kent-Schneider, TE: After moving around some in his first couple of seasons at MSU, Quincy Kent-Schneider seems to have found a home at tight end. A rangy athlete, Kent-Schneider shows good hands and the ability to get open. He is likely to continue to help on special teams this season.
Spotlight – Travis Cormaney: Among the trademarks of Cliff Hysell's eight Bobcat teams, a bruising ground game is among the most powerful and lasting visuals. Settle in, because today and tomorrow both feature players that made Crafty Clifford think impure thoughts. Travis Cormaney was the prototype, a 6-0, 242 lb battering ram of a human being who hurled his body into opposing defenses with reckless abandon. The Colorado Springs product started throughout his final two seasons, carrying 23 times for 117 yards in his four-year career. His number was called as a ball carrier only once during his senior season, but his value in the Bobcat run game was irrefutable. He and a talented, experienced offensive line paved the way for Matt Engelking to gain 1,256 yards as a senior. Cormaney came by his toughness honestly – his father was a wrestler at Northern Iowa.
Chronology: Oswald Falkenstern (1937), Add Farrell (1940), Kenneth Schmidt (1941), Neil Brocks (1946), Luther Lalum (1947-48), Neil Hart (1949), Neil Hart (1950), Bob Roloff (1953), Terry Paoletti (1954), Don Duntsch (1970), Dennis Iverson (1982-83), John Russell (1985-86), Steve Perkins (1987-90), Marlan Bacon (1991-92), Travis Cormaney (1993-97), Aaron Den Hartog (1999), Ryan Haught (2000), Brad Johnson (2001), Clayton Curley (2002-05), Tate Switzer (2006-07), Ricky Evans (2008-09), Brad Nordahl (2011-13), Demonte King (2014), Chris Harris (2015), Will Martel (2016-17), Parker Windatt (2018-)
Other #36 Notes: Sometimes you come across items in an old newspaper or annual that stops you in your tracks. The 1937 Montanan presented one of those items, the death notice of track team manager John Spraines, MSC Class of '36. Spraines was lauded for his bright personality and a "fund of humor" which he put to use in "his work in dramatics." He perished in an auto accident in the summer of 1936, and the "whole student body at Montana State College felt that the world had been deprived of a good man." While reminding us at BBTN of the countless contributions made to Bobcat Athletics (and programs at every college campus in the nation) by students who never actually compete. John Spraines came to Bozeman from Columbus, and his presence on the Montana State campus and his loss were both deeply felt.
