Here’s an item I wrote on the Montana Grizzlies’ defensive front, which has a bunch of newcomers joining holdovers Josh Harris, Tonga Takai, Alex Bienemann and Zach Wagenmann.

The fresh faces belong to Derek Crittenden, Jesse Ginn, Tyrone Holmes and Caleb Kidder (if you’re counting, that’s five Montanans among the top eight up front).

Legi Suiaunoa feels confident that a group that includes six freshmen and sophomores can do the job:

“I’m happy with the progress of the group. I’m pleased, and it’s because they’ve worked hard and know that this is their time. They know what it takes.”
