Redshirt freshman RB with upside from multi-sport, two-way dominance
Helms is a high-upside Montana State running back whose value shows up more in background and traits than volume: he has only a handful of college carries, but he already flashed efficiency with 10 rushing yards on 2 carries for Montana State in 2025 after logging the same line at Elon in 2024. His differentiators are his versatility and competitive résumé—he was a first-team all-state back, a returner, and an outside linebacker in high school, then played at IMG Academy and started all 13 games on a championship team. He looks like a physical, adaptable fit for a program that develops multi-phase athletes.[3][6][8][9]
