Grady Walker is a homegrown Montana defender with size, legacy, and upside
In the 2026 season, Grady Walker enters Montana’s linebacker room as a redshirt sophomore at 6-foot-4 and 224 pounds, bringing rare length, local pride, and a known competitive edge from Sentinel High and a Griz family lineage. Montana’s roster notes say he redshirted in 2024, and a 2025 depth-chart style roundup placed him in a deep, talent-rich linebacking group, suggesting he is still pushing for more snaps. The takeaway: he looks like a developmental linebacker with special-teams value, plus the kind of toughness and in-state identity coaches love to keep in the building.
