On National Signing Day Missoula Sentinel Spartan athletes would sign their winter session Letter of Intent for the next step in their sports career. Five of the athletes signed to stay in the Missoula Valley to play football at the University of Montana, three of the athletes signed to play sports at three Utah schools, and one to compete against the U of M at Sacramento State.
For many high school students going to college takes them away from their family for the first time, but sports is a unique way for the student to be part of a new family. Colt Mortensen is one of the three athletes heading to Utah and feels he is extending his family when he gets to Utah Valley University, “It was the caoches that really convinced me, they made it feel like it is my new family.”
