Holden Ryan brings size, toughness, and local-rooted upside to Montana’s linebacker room
Holden Ryan is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound redshirt freshman linebacker from Billings who arrived at Montana after a high-school career as a two-way impact athlete and a reputation for physicality. The clearest differentiator is his versatility and edge: he was described by Montana as an “excellent all-around athlete,” and his injury-plagued early college path makes him more of an upside play than a finished product. If you want a developmental LB with Montana grit, contact balance, and special-teams potential, he’s worth a look.
