Montana's Towering Redshirt Junior DE with Rare Athletic Pedigree
RJ Nelson, a 6-4, 250-pound redshirt junior defensive end for the Montana Grizzlies, stands out with his basketball background—boasting the school's second-highest single-game rebounding record of 18 and 16 defensive boards—translating to elite athleticism, body control, and relentless pursuit on the gridiron. A Hillsboro, Ore. product committed to Montana in 2017, his high school Hudl highlights showcase explosive edge speed (4.84 40-yard dash), power rushing, and versatility, making him a disruptive force ideal for 3-4 schemes. Limited detailed college stats available, but his size-intensity combo screams NFL small-school gem—perfect fit for teams seeking high-motor pass rushers.
