National Signing Day for Division I on Wednesday marked the end of the recruiting season and the beginning of the next. The Montana State Bobcats inked 10 players from Montana to National Letters of Intent. The Montana Grizzlies signed five more while Great Falls C.M. Russell running back Andrew Grinde is headed to Yale.

On Wednesday, most of Montana’s Frontier Conference programs announced their lists of signees as well, bringing the total of Treasure State natives signed to play college football next season to more than 70. The NAIA period will continue and the lists will continue to grow.
