<p>There is no question that Tommy Mellott is one of the greatest athletes the Mining City has ever produced.</p><p>He is in the conversation when you extend that debate out to cover the entire state. The 2024 Walter Payton Award winner led the Montana State Bobcats to the FCS national championship football game two times. </p><p>That came after he became just the second boy at Butte High School to earn 12 varsity letters. He led the Bulldogs to the 2019 Class AA state championship football game. In addition to lettering four years in football, Tommy letter four times in basketball and track.</p><p>In Butte, we have long known about Tommy, who first burst onto the scene while competing in Little Guy Football and the Grade School Track Meet. The rest of the state — and beyond — really started paying attention once he began his magical run at Montana State.</p><p>Today, Tommy is still a very busy man as he gets ready for next week’s NFL Draft. Where and when will he go? Well, that is hard to say.</p><p>We only know that some teams just might be paying more attention to the former Butte High Bulldog after he put up some impressive numbers at the MSU Pro Day on April 4. Tommy posted a vertical jump of 41 inches. He also put up a blazing time of 3.39 seconds in the 40-yard run.</p><p>Listen in as Tommy talks about his time at Butte High and MSU and as he takes a look toward the future.</p><p>Today's podcast is brought to you by <a href="http://casagrandassteakhouse.com/">Casagranda's Steakhouse</a>.
