Video: Carson Katen's highlights vs. Ronan High School
See the Montana star in actionThe state of Montana is not the typical hotbed of football recruiting activity for Division I programs across the country, but there is one Big Sky Country recruit in the 2017 class pulling attention his way –
Carson Katen.
Katen did what college recruiters want to see from a player in any given year, at any given position, and in any state: dominate the competition. The 6-foot-4, 222-pound playmaker came up with 94 tackles (42 solo), with 21 tackles for loss, 18 sacks, 11 quarterback hurries, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and six passes defensed in just eight games playing defensive end. On the other side of the ball, Katen had 12 receptions for 142 yards playing ironman football at tight end.
Regional programs and some of the Ivy League schools have already caught on to Katen. The
Florence-Carlton (Florence, Mont.) standout is receiving interest from Montana, Montana State, Portland State, Cornell and Wagner, overcoming the small amount of recruiting attention given to that area of the United States.
The Falcons started off the 2015 schedule hot, winning their first four games before injuries led to an end of the season four-game skid. Katen and the Falcons have a renewed sense of urgency for the 2016 season, ready to do battle in Montana's competitive Class B division.
