51 Tucker Schye: A gifted rush end with a relentless motor who carried on the “37” with honor.

Honorable Mention: Ryan Jollymore was another under the radar linebacker who just played well.

52 John Kanongata’a: A three year starter and All Big Sky performer. Did the Griz ever had a better linebacking corps than Kanongata’a, Tripp and Coyle? That’s another list.

Honorable Mention: Nick Vella, a fine linebacker in a seemingly unending stream of them.

53 Kroy Biermann: Has there ever been a more destructive defensive end in the FCS?

Honorable Mention: Josh Stuberg just quietly went about his work at linebacker and did his work very well.

54 Randy Allik: Started his career at defensive tackle before moving to guard and becoming an All Big Sky second team performer.

Honorable Mention: “54” was a coin flip, Austin Mullins, road the bench for three years before having a very solid senior campaign at defensive tackle, earning himself an All Big Sky second team distinction. Also a mention to Trevor Rehm who was often “the other guy” on some very talented offensive lines.

55 Dan Downs: All American linebacker from the early 90’s gets the pick.

Honorable Mention: Second team All Big Sky performers Johnny Varona at defensive tackle and Eric Buehler at defensive end.

56 Brock Coyle: Never got the national recognition he deserved in college but Grizzly fans and the NFL knew just how good this linebacker was.

Honorable Mention: Eric Simonson was an All Conference guard and a member of the ’95 National Championship team. Markus Wilson was a superb athlete at linebacker.

57 Charles Burton: A big physical tackle on some very good Montana lines.

Honorable Mention: Shane Cochran was a hard working linebacker who started on the special teams and ended up in the starting line up. “57” is another number that hasn’t been worn by a lot of players.

58 Zach Waggenmann: The ultimate speed rusher and a two time All American.

Honorable Mention: All American offensive lineman Rick Erps who was one of the strongest Grizzlies ever.

59 Kelly Kain: A run stuffing defensive tackle who anchored some tough defensive lines.

Honorable Mention: Tyrone Duncan was a platooned defensive tackle who transferred in from Washington. Many Griz fans have their fingers crossed that Milton Mamula can be a great one in the “59” jersey.

60 Mike Agee: A two time All American guard.

Honorable Mention: Jay Fagan a one time All American guard.

At #58 Wayne Harrington can't be left out. In his two years at UM he was 1st team all-BSC at LB and 2nd team all-BSC at center both years, playing both ways on very poor teams. Playing with Mike Tilleman, he was the Griz most valuable defensive player both years and first team All-American LB his senior year. He was the Dante Olson of his time, a tackling machine.

On the very first list I started by explaining why I chose to only use players from 1986 on. There are many great and legendary Grizzlies who I didn't feel because of my age I had the ability to make any kind of fair decision on. But, yeah Harrington sounds like a stud who would have a place on any all-time Griz team. And thanks for pointing him out, I love reading about those old Griz.
