Chase Cook is a local power back with upside for Montana
In the 2026 season, Chase Cook is listed as a 5-foot-11, 197-pound sophomore running back for Montana after arriving as a Red Lodge, Montana product, which makes him a homegrown Grizzly with room to grow.[1][8][11] His appeal is the classic downhill-back package: sturdy frame, in-state toughness, and the kind of profile that can fit a physical rushing rotation, though publicly available stat lines and game logs show no meaningful college production yet, so the real story is projection rather than résumé.[1][4][9] If you want a young RB who could develop into a reliable between-the-tackles piece, Cook is worth keeping an eye on; if you need an immediate proven producer, he is still more “future weapon” than finished product.[1][8]
