special-teams tone-setter turned linebacker for the Griz
Childs is a high-energy Montana captain whose value goes well beyond the box score: in 2024, he was recognized for elite special-teams play and then made the jump from running back to linebacker, bringing rare feel for offensive schemes, toughness, and a team-first motor. At 6-foot-1, 209 pounds, he’s praised as a leader and coverage-unit difference-maker, though he was not listed as a starter at linebacker in early 2024 depth-chart reporting. If a team wants a smart, physical, versatile defender with a nasty edge and proven leadership, Childs absolutely deserves a look.
