Montana’s tackling-machine linebacker turned Griz football voice
Jordan Tripp was a high-impact Montana linebacker and 2013 first-team FCS All-American who finished with 335 career tackles, a school-record 10 forced fumbles, and 10 fumble recoveries, so he’s the kind of defender who changes possession and momentum in a hurry[3][15]. He stood out for range, violence at the point of attack, and a relentless motor that made him a rare four-year starter; those traits, plus his leadership and big-play instinct, are why he translated into a fifth-round NFL Draft pick and later became a respected analyst around the Griz program[3][15].
