He finished his senior season with 3,178 yards and 26 touchdowns. He set Bozeman High records with 203 completions in 307 attempts. He also rushed for 13 touchdowns, ultimately accounting for 39 of Bozeman’s 43 touchdowns.

The Accolades: O’Reilly earned Class AA second-team all-state accolades at quarterback. He will begin under center at Montana State where he might stay. The three-time academic all-state seleciton and two-time basketball letter winner could move to tight end or outside linebacker eventually.

Academics: Undecided

O’Reilly on Montana State: “I really liked the school, the season was coming to an end and I felt that was the right place for me. I love the outdoors aspect of it. The football field is awesome and the surrounding area. I loved the downtown, the main drag, the whole town.”

Coach Choate on O’Reilly: “Callahan put up some stellar numbers for Bozeman High this year, but the thing that stood out to me is what a clutch performer he is, whether it be late in football games or in basketball. That exemplifies the type of competitor he is. He’s a very bright young man, he’s an excellent student and a tremendous leader, and I just really like the kid. He’s a tremendous kid to add to our program.”
