DONOTUSE Chris Dyk

High School: He was first team all-state selection in 2002, 2003, and 2004 and an honorable mention pick as a freshman in 2001 at Beaverhead County High School. His high school football team won the state “A” football championship in 2003. His prep football coach was Terry Thomas, former (1978-80) Griz cornerback and punter.

He was also a standout basketball player. He excelled in track, throwing the discus and shot put.

Personal: His major is sociology. His parents are Joe and Gwen Dyk of Dillon. Birth date: August 5, 1986.

Says coach Hauck: “From the time he walked in the door here, Chris has been a player with great potential. He has started to realize some of that potential over the last year or so. He had a great spring practice. He’s 6-8, and it’s hard to pass-rush him on the edge. I expect him to have a great season protecting our quarterback.”
