Griz Football Stars Return After Transfer Portal Scare

What is going on with these Montana Grizzly football players trying to give Griz Nation a collective heart attack?

First, quarterback Keali'i Ah Yat tweeted this swerve.

Gosh dang, Keali'i. You're doing your best to kill all of us with those first two sentences.

But I will give you credit, because that was an excellent troll job.

Now, the Griz are getting back a star weapon. Of course, he had to have some fun at Griz Nation's expense, too.

Gillman announced his decision to return with a video that appeared to be a "so long, I love you, Griz Nation video." But we are so back. The trio of Ah Yat, Gillman, and wide receiver Brooks Davis will be back in Missoula for another year.

If Gillman stays healthy in 2026, he will become the all-time leading rusher at the University of Montana. The Minnesotan is at 3,677 yards and needs 393 rushing yards to jump Lex Hilliard, Chase Reynolds, and Yohance Humphrey.

Great to have Eli back in Missoula. For all other transfer portal news, check out the article above.
