Big-time athlete, but not a 2026 Montana State WR
Maclain Burckley is a 6-foot-2, 194-pound in-state athlete from Billings Senior who earned First Team All-State honors at receiver, punter, and kicker, with MSU coaches praising his quickness, explosiveness, and ability to make people miss in space[1][2]. The catch: the available 2025–2026 information shows he left Montana State after 2024 and is listed with Montana Western in 2025, so he is not currently contributing as a Bobcat WR[1][8]. If you want a versatile, high-upside playmaker with special-teams juice and real after-the-catch pop, he fits the bill; if you need an active Montana State receiver, this isn’t your guy right now[2][8].
