Montana RB Eli Gillman: proven Big Sky star with explosive all-purpose value
Eli Gillman is already one of the Big Sky’s most decorated backs, winning the 2025 Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year after taking the 2023 Jerry Rice Award as the league’s top freshman and earning multiple all-conference honors. His appeal goes beyond box-score production: he has shown week-to-week consistency, playmaking burst, and the kind of durability and commitment that matter to coaches, especially after choosing to stay at Montana and keep building his game there. If you want a productive, high-floor RB who has already performed against top FCS competition, Gillman fits.
