MONTANA GRIZZLIES
MCKENZIE HOLT – Athlete – Thompson Falls High School – Thompson Falls, Montana
The Numbers: The 6-foot-4, 235-pound athlete from Thompson Falls first got on the field as a sophomore defensive end. As he matured, he developed into a bruising running back and rangy middle linebacker. He came to Montana’s summer camp and played several positions, but was determined to have potential as an offensive lineman.
Accolades: Holt was a District 7B all-state selection as well as first-team all-conference running back and second-team all-conference linebacker during his senior season, which ended short of the Class B playoffs. He was also an all-district selection on both sides of the ball as a junior.
