Bobby Kennedy, Brent Pease Preview Spring, Outline Recruiting and Transfers

Bobby Kennedy and offensive coordinator Brent Pease met with the media Feb. 25 to lay out a program-level update for Montana, previewing the Grizzlies’ upcoming spring session and detailing the staff’s approach to recruiting and transfer additions. The coaches posted the update and used the availability to explain how offseason work will shape the roster ahead of spring practices.

Kennedy, in his capacity as head coach, framed the spring session as a critical evaluation period for both incoming recruits and portal additions. The program-level update referenced recruiting and transfer activity and positioned spring practices as the first on-field test for how those pieces will fit into Montana’s roster construction under Kennedy’s regime.

Brent Pease, Montana’s offensive coordinator, participated in the briefing and outlined the early offseason coaching emphasis that the Grizzlies will carry into spring. The update and the media availability emphasized coaching priorities for the offseason, with Pease identifying how the staff intends to integrate new players into the offensive scheme during spring drills and positional work.

Both coaches addressed transfer additions as a complement to traditional recruiting, signaling that the Grizzlies see the transfer portal as a means to accelerate depth and experience. The program-level update noted transfer additions alongside recruiting progress, indicating the staff’s dual-track strategy for improving the roster before fall camp.

Spring practice will serve as the timeline for evaluating those recruits and transfers, according to Kennedy and Pease’s briefing. The Feb. 25 session preview made clear that Montana’s staff will use spring snaps and positional competition to set depth charts, clarify role definitions, and finalize offseason teaching points before the summer conditioning phase.

The update posted after the media availability gives fans and evaluators concrete checkpoints: spring practice will be the first public look at how Kennedy’s recruiting and portal moves translate on the field, and Pease’s early coaching emphasis will be visible in offensive installations and player usage. The Grizzlies head into spring with a defined plan to marry recruiting classes with transfer additions and to use the early offseason to accelerate readiness for the fall schedule.
