Hometown Griz back with upside, special-teams value, and a power-speed pedigree
In the 2025 season, Talen Reynolds is a redshirt freshman RB for Montana who was listed as depth in a crowded backfield and a special-teams option, after appearing in limited action with 4 carries for 6 yards and 0 touchdowns[1][5][13]. His differentiators are real: he’s a local Missoula product, a former all-state high school runner, and the son of Griz legend Chase Reynolds, which gives him both football bloodlines and a built-in feel for the program’s culture[5][11]. He also brings versatility from his high-school days as a runner, receiver, returner, and even linebacker, which hints at a high-motor, team-first fit[5][7].
