MISSOULA- University of Montana football Coach Robin Pflugrad says that Griz camps at the university helped them reel-in 10 of Wednesday's signees, including most of the in-state kids. That includes one star from just down the street.

Hellgate's Zach Peevey is the only Montana recruit from west of the continental divide. The defensive end said he came late to the recruiting process. But spending time at a summer camp in Missoula convinced him he wanted to stay in his home town.

"I went there and had a good time. You know, that was pretty much the time where I was like, you now, I really like the game of football. And I'd love to play in college. And so, yeah. Just being around the players, coaches, it really helped me out, and helped me get a clear view of what I wanted to do. And that's where I wanted to be."
