Former Griz tackle who earned All-Big Sky recognition
John Schmaing’s most notable Montana football résumé comes from the 2015 season, when he was named second-team All-Big Sky as a starting offensive tackle, a strong indicator of size, consistency, and conference-level impact. At 6-foot-7 and about 290 pounds, he fit the classic pass-protecting tackle mold and was trusted as a full-time starter, which usually says as much about reliability and technique as raw tools. The available information is older, so this is less a current-form snapshot than a clear sign he was a sturdy, high-level line piece for the Grizzlies.
