Missoula-grown DL Spencer Tripp is a compact, power-built Griz walk-on with real upside
In the 2025 season, Spencer Tripp entered Montana as a redshirt freshman walk-on and brought a 5-foot-11, 264-pound frame, strong local pedigree, and serious lift numbers—plus a background as a two-way high school lineman and rugby state champion. His differentiators are leverage, toughness, and raw strength, not flash; he looks like a classic low-center-of-gravity interior defender who can anchor, scrap, and fit the Griz identity. If a team wants a physical, development-minded DL with hometown grit and a weight-room engine, he’s worth a close look.
