Montana State Transfer Safety Dru Polidore Jr. Commits to Cal
Montana State transfer safety Dru Polidore Jr. announced on social media on Friday that he has committed to Cal.
Montana State was an FCS powerhouse this season, winning its first 15 games before losing to North Dakota State 35-32 in the FCS national championship game.
Polidore had narrowed his transfer choices to Cal and Stanford before choosing the Golden Bears and canceling his visit to Stanford.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Polidore had 35 tackles, two interceptions and one pass breakup in the 2024 season. He started eight games in 2023, and had one start while playing all 12 games in 2022 as a freshman. He has one year of college eligibility remaining.
Polidore orginally enrolled at the Air Force Academy in June 2021, but redshirted that season and entered the transfer portal in Ocober 2021. He transferred to Montana State in January of 2022.
Polidore is from Katy, Texas, and coming out of high school he had offers from Duke, Navy, Army, Louisiana-Monroe and New Mexico State as well as several Ivy League schools.

“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.
