Montana safety Chase McGurran is a depth piece with local pedigree and special-teams upside
McGurran is a 6-foot, 196-pound sophomore safety from Helena who brings local familiarity, size, and a steady developmental profile to Montana’s secondary; the Grizzlies listed him as depth in the defensive backfield and a special-teams candidate in 2024, and he has yet to log meaningful college game action. His value comes less from current stat production than from his defensive back background, all-state prep résumé, and versatility after contributing on both sides of the ball in high school. For a team, he profiles as a low-risk developmental add with room to grow into a reliable rotational defender or special-teams contributor.[5][1]
