Matt Hermanson brings proven ball skills and tackling volume to Montana’s secondary
Hermanson stands out as a productive, physical safety for Montana, with a long track record of making plays in the run game and on the ball; he finished his senior year as the Grizzlies’ leading returning tackler and ranked 29th in school history with 239 career tackles, while also showing rare turnover production with a three-interception game that made him the first Big Sky player since 2009 to do that. [2][3][6] He looks like a fit for a defense that values experience, reliability, and a player who can diagnose quickly and impact both coverage and tackling, though off-field discipline history is part of the evaluation.
