DILLON -- Karl Tucker II and Latrell McCutcheon highlight Montana Western head football coach Ryan Nourse’s 2020 signing class.
Tucker, a former Great Falls CMR standout, comes to Dillon from Montana State University in Bozeman. Tucker spent time as a wide receiver and running back with the Bobcats, appearing in 15 games, 13 during the 2018 season. He carried the ball seven times for 20 yards and added six career receptions for 27 yards at MSU.
During his high school career, Tucker was an all-state basketball and football performer for the Rustlers.
McCutcheon is another former Class AA contributor, graduating from Bozeman High in 2018. The former Hawk three-sport athlete signed with Minot State, playing for the Beavers immediately during his freshman campaign. Over the past two seasons, McCutcheon appeared in 19 games and tallied 49 tackles, three for loss, with 10 passes defended.
Nourse adds another transfer in University of Nevada running back/receiver Reese Neville, who appeared in three games for the Wolf Pack but added no stats.
Aside from Tucker and McCutcheon, 10 other Montana athletes will join the Bulldogs, including Belgrade teammates Zayne Konkol and John Mears. Kalispell Flathead 100-meter dash champion Chance Sheldon-Allen is also among the home-state athletes that will compete for Western next season.
The Bulldogs also kept their longstanding Hawaiian pipeline open, adding a trio of Island-born athletes to the program.
