Re: Major Thornhill in portal
I figured he’d actually fight for some time next year. Who knows, so many reasons why and it opens up a nice spot for us to snag another recruit!

Re: Major Thornhill in portal
Could be a variety of reasons, but if you look at the size of the incoming freshman class versus the number of graduating seniors this will only be the first of a significant number of portal entries.

Re: Major Thornhill in portal
I'm sure you're right. There will be many on the team fighting for a spot I'm sure, and several will like their chances elsewhere.

Re: Major Thornhill in portal
From Montanasports.com regarding majors recruiting. When he committed.
Major Thornhill, DE, 6-3, 210, Fr, Gunter, TX (Gunter)
“Player notes: Earned first-team all-state honors twice... helped lead Gunter to a pair of state championships. From defensive line coach Shawn Howe: “Major was a guy who was very, very high on our list at this time last year, he had a lot of Division I attention, and it ended up looking like he might have a home at a service academy. His recruitment opened back up and we saw it as an opportunity to get one of the top players on our board, and it worked out. He comes from a really, really good football program, won a lot of games, and is an explosive athlete and absolutely loves football. He can make all kinds of plays athletically. He has shown tremendous toughness, he played hurt all year, and he absolutely loves to play football. He’s a football guy, he loves studying the game, he loves playing the game, he checks off all the things we pride ourselves in the D-line room here.””

Could also be grades. Could also be snow. Could also be family reasons. Could also be homesick. As a true freshman experiencing this season, pretty wild to already want to transfer out...in my opinion.

The timing coming right after the temperature drops does seem right on. Probably quite the shock from Texas.VimSince03 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 30, 2025 10:26 amCould also be grades. Could also be snow.

Re: Major Thornhill in portal
Losing 4 DL as seniors and the Cheetah packages we run seems like the one position there is a ton of opportunity to move up depth chart

Heard he wanted to be first string Thorny of Bobcatnation, but @CelticCat wasn’t willing to give up the top spot.

This is actually a bummer. They’re pretty light on edge depth for next year.

Re: Major Thornhill in portal
Theyll have a top 3 with Crews, Solano, and Brock. Then there will be a laundry list of kids competing for that 4th spot. We aren't in that bad of shape.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Sun Nov 30, 2025 1:06 pmThis is actually a bummer. They’re pretty light on edge depth for next year.

Who? Vigen and Frederickson are all that’s on the roster unless I’m missing some. I think they’ll need to bring in some transfers here.VimSince03 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 30, 2025 2:10 pmTheyll have a top 3 with Crews, Solano, and Brock.

Dang! It seemed like he had major upside. Hope he knocks it out of the park wherever he goes (unless it’s a big Sky school or DSU).
Hating the griz since 02.

Re: Major Thornhill in portal
Poster never said they didn't, said they hate current set up. Why don't players just say nothing or say reason. Thank you MSU but "insert reason" so I am looking for another opportunity.BelligerentBobcat wrote: ↑Sun Nov 30, 2025 1:06 pmI know, right?!

Re: Major Thornhill in portal
Sure. But this guy does this in every transfer thread, except for when they come here. Don’t see him hating on the portal when Lamson came.
