Carson Rostad brings Griz-ready toughness, football IQ, and special-teams value to Montana's linebacker room
Rostad is a versatile Montana product whose best traits show up in the dirty work: he has a reputation for a “gamer” mentality, strong instincts, and high football IQ, and at Montana he has already proven he can help on special teams and make timely plays in the box. In his Montana season referenced in the roster profile, he played in 12 games with 8 tackles, a half-TFL, and a pass breakup, showing reliability and physicality rather than flashy volume. He looks like a fit for a team that values toughness, instincts, and role flexibility over pure stats.
