41.) Ben Maehl (Missoula Big Sky) - WR/S - 6'2", 190 lbs.
Ben is one of the better AA players returning in 2019. He's a good athlete with position versatility. He can develop at WR, S, or LB and be a solid college player. Ben will be highly sought after at the NAIA level.
42.) Jade Morast (Dillon) - OL/DL - 6'2", 235 lbs.
Jade is just a big, strong, physical kid. He's not the greatest athlete which puts him a little lower on my initial ranking but he stills flashes playmaking ability. Jade works hard and does his job every snap. There is value in being reliable.
43.) Trey Green (Alberton/Superior) - RB - 5'9", 200 lbs.
An 8-man player out of Clark Fork High School, Trey is one of the better backs in the state in my opinion. He's a short, stocky runner who has good burst in the open field on top of being physical between the tackles. Trey breaks a bunch of tackles as he uses his frame and strength to his advantage. He's also a decent receiver in the passing game.
44.) Tom Walkup (Bozeman) - OL - 6'1", 285 lbs.
Tom is one of the best interior lineman in this class. He can move people in the run game and flashes some athleticism while pulling. Tom is also a State Qualifying wrestler which coaches circle immediately when trying to put together a recruiting board. Most of his notoriety comes on the offensive line but he may get recruited more as a DT.
45.) Chance Sheldon-Allen (Kalispell Flathead) - WR/DB - 5'9", 155 lbs.
Chance is small but very fast. He is one of the top sprinters in the state as a junior and that speed flashes in the kick-return game. Chance flashed some playmaking ability on defense at the safety position his junior season with 5 interceptions, 14 passes defended, 1 sack, and 2 blocked field goals. Should be on every in-state NAIA school's recruiting radar.
46.) Aidan Barrows (Miles City) - RB - 5'10", 185 lbs.
Aidan was an All-State LB for Custer County High School in 2018 but he may have more of a future as a RB. If Aidan was bigger in height and weight, he would be a Top 10 player in this class. He's one of the most physical runners in the state and has good acceleration in the open field. He's a good track athlete as well. It will be interesting to see how his recruitment develops because Aidan is a kid who could be a late riser by year-end.
47.) Chet McCulley (Eureka) - RB/DB - 5'10", 150 lbs.
Chet tore his ACL early in the 2018 season which eliminated his junior campaign. The three Eureka kids listed in my initial Top 50 (Hank Dunn, Jake Kindel, and Chet) were all All-State their sophomore seasons and all major contributors on those Garrett Graves-led Class B title teams. All of them have a different skillset with Chet's being elusiveness and speed. He has some of the best "wiggle" of any runner in this class and hopefully he can return to top form by this fall.
48.) Gabe Longin (Great Falls High) - RB/DB - 5'11", 185 lbs.
Gabe is a versatile runner with elusiveness in the open field. He was required to catch the ball a lot out of the backfield in Mark Samson's passing attack and Gabe shined catching 60 balls for 582 yards with 7 receiving touchdowns. In my opinion, Gabe had a very underrated season last year for Great Falls High as you can't argue with his production. I see Gabe as a RB or slot WR at the next level and he will have plenty of opportunities to prove what level that will be throughout 2019.
49.) Basil Coutinho (Missoula Loyola) - TE/LB/DE - 6'2", 190 lbs.
Basil has been a starter for Loyola since he was a sophomore and most of his best plays have been made at the DE/LB position. He's been used in a variety of ways on both offense and defense for the Rams which makes him an intriguing in-state prospect. Basil has a good frame to develop into a H-back/flex TE on offense or hybrid DE/LB on defense at the next level.
50.) Carson McGinness (Centerville) - QB/S - 6'0", 170 lbs.
Carson is a two-time All-State football player heading into his senior season. I may have him too low on this list as he flashes just as much ability as some of the players in the 11-20 range on this list. But that's just how this class is built...there isn't much separation between talent once you get past my Top 4. Anyway, Carson is a good player who makes a ton of plays at QB for the Miners of Centerville. He may also be recruited as a safety.
