Former Griz fullback with captain’s DNA and downhill physicality
Gavin Hagfors was a compact, physical Montana back who brought a team-first edge more than eye-popping box-score production. In his Montana career, he appeared in 23 games and totaled 51 receiving yards, with a reputation built on versatility, toughness, and leadership — he was a three-time football captain in high school and an All-Big Sky academic selection at Montana. That makes him the kind of player coaches trust in the dirty-work spots: reliable, disciplined, and hard to move off the field when the game gets physical.
