Tommy Mellott NFL Draft Projection
Tommy Mellott is projected to be selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft or get signed as an undrafted free agent, per Draft Scout’s database.
He is ranked as the No. 317 overall prospect and the No. 16 quarterback.
Tommy Mellott NFL Draft Profile
Montana State benched its FBS transfer quarterback Matthew McKay before the 2021 FCS playoffs and inserted redshirt freshman Tommy Mellott. It was a risk. But it paid off and began a legendary career for Mellott, a Montana native.
He led the Bobcats in that 2021 postseason to a national championship appearance. MSU then reached the 2022 semifinals, the 2023 second round, and the 2024 national championship game.
Mellott finished his MSU career with 33 quarterback wins (second-most in school history), 43 rushing touchdowns (2nd), 3,523 rushing yards (2nd), 5,810 passing yards (5th), and 53 passing touchdowns (5th).
In 2024, he was PFF’s No. 1-graded FCS quarterback and won the Walter Payton Award as the best FCS offensive player. Mellott finished with 2,759 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and two interceptions while rushing for 1,050 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Mellott wasn’t on the NFL Draft radar until his Montana State pro day. He showed why he was thought to be one of the best overall athletes in the FCS. He recorded a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, 4.2-second shuttle, 6.93-second 3-cone drill, 41-inch vertical, 10-4 broad jump, and 19 reps on the bench press. While he was limited in his throwing in his first few seasons, Mellott developed into a very good passer in 2024. Is he an NFL quarterback? Probably not. He will likely convert to wide receiver and perhaps also be used behind center in certain packages if an offensive coordinator knows how to best utilize him.
Mellott will be a project for whoever drafts him or signs him as an undrafted free agent. He has NFL-level athleticism. Where exactly he fits in an offense is to be determined, but his ceiling is Julian Edelman, who played quarterback at Kent State before transitioning to a return specialist and wide receiver.

KALISPELL — A Flathead County man is turning a personal rock bottom into a lifeline for his community by starting a free, late-night ride service to keep drunk drivers off the roads.

“I just wanted to give people who do still drink the option for a safe, sober ride home,” Bruzza said.
Bruzza said a devastating mistake behind the wheel became a turning point where he decided enough was enough.
“I was charged with a DUI October 22 of 2024,” Bruzza said.
After a few months focused on his sobriety, Bruzza channeled his energy into his community by starting the shuttle service.
He operates the shuttle in his personal pickup truck. Riders can reach him by phone, text or social media at any time of day or night at no cost.
“I just wanted to give others the opportunity to not get a life changing charge,” Bruzza said.
Bruzza works with bars to connect riders with his service. Although the Big Sky Sobriety Shuttle is a new endeavor, he has already seen a big impact.
“The community response without a doubt has been unconditional love and support that makes my heart all warm and fuzzy,” Bruzza said.
Bruzza also shared a message for others who may be struggling with addiction.
“Your life is worth it, there are people that care out there and it is okay to ask for help,” Bruzza said.
