Marist senior wide receiver Taylor Walcott gave a verbal commitment to the University of Montana, according to a report by Steve Mims of The Register Guard. Walcott also has offers from Idaho, Eastern Washington, Portland State and North Dakota.
Walcott is a three time first team All-Midwestern League wide receiver and he was named to the Class 5A first team All-State as a junior in 2010. He helped lead the Marist Spartans to two state championship games, including a Class 4A state title in 2009. Marist lost in the semifinals of the 2011 Class 5A state playoffs last week.
In his high school career, Walcott has more than 3,000 yards receiving and 50 touchdowns in four years on the varsity team. At Montana, Walcott will join former Sheldon quarterback and Class 6A Player of the Year Jordan Johnson, who started for the Grizzlies as a sophomore this season. Montana (9-2) tied for first place in the Big Sky conference in 2011.
Montana plays in the first round of the FCS playoffs against Central Arkansas on Saturday. The Grizzlies have appeared in five national championship games since 2000 and won national championships in 1995 and 2001.
