(STATS) – Adding in his first full recruiting class on Wednesday, Montana coach Bobby Hauck hopes to continue re-energizing the former perennial power in the Big Sky Conference.
Announced to the 26-member class on national signing day were two kickers/punter, Brian Buschini and Carver Gilman, and safety Nick Guerena.
The first 23 members of the 2019 class were announced previously. The offensive and defensive lines were a priority in a class that also includes three-star cornerback Corbin Walker out of Washington.
Montana finished 6-5 in Hauck’s return to the program last season, missing the FCS playoffs for the third straight year. He was hired after the 2017 season less than three weeks before the first early signing period that December.
