Montana State lands in-state dual-threat quarterback Kanon Reichman for 2027
Montana State added Three Forks quarterback Kanon Reichman, a 6-3, 218-pound dual threat who piled up 4,297 total yards and 51 total touchdowns as a junior.
Montana State added Three Forks quarterback Kanon Reichman to its 2027 class, bringing a 6-foot-3, 218-pound dual threat home as the Bobcats keep stocking the room with Montana talent. Reichman committed to Montana State on June 21, and the fit is obvious on paper: size, production and enough athletic punch to threaten defenses in the pocket and on the move.
Reichman’s junior season was the kind that changes how a recruit is viewed. He threw for 2,675 yards and 34 touchdowns while also running for 1,622 yards and 17 scores, a total production line that would stand out at almost any level. He also led Three Forks to the 2025 state championship game, giving the Bobcats a quarterback who has already spent a season carrying a winning team deep into November.
The local case for Reichman was building well before the commitment. Three Forks Voice reported in August that he earned Class-B All-State honors in 2024 after passing for 1,861 yards and 14 touchdowns and rushing for 1,090 yards and 19 scores. By Dec. 3, that same program had turned into a historic 10-2 run with a trip to the state title game, and Reichman remained at the center of it. MaxPreps listed him on the Three Forks 2026 football roster on May 31, a reminder that the next chapter of his high school career was already underway even as the college decision landed.
The timing matters for Montana State, too. The Bobcats offered Reichman on Oct. 19, 2025, and Montana followed with an offer on Nov. 14. Landing him this early in the 2027 cycle gives Brent Vigen and offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Pete Sterbick another quarterback whose skill set matches the way modern FCS offenses punish defenses that can only handle one threat at a time.
Reichman also fits the pattern in Montana State’s 2027 board. The Bobcats’ commit list already includes other in-state names such as Billings athlete Lane Humphrey, Choteau lineman Dax Yeager, Saco edge Laytin Erickson and Laurel lineman Kade Leibrand, a sign the program is treating the state like a priority, not a fallback. With Reichman, Montana State did more than land a productive quarterback from Three Forks. It added another local centerpiece before the wider recruiting market could fully close in.
