The first official signee for Montana’s football class of 2015 is a quarterback that might just remind Griz fans of Jordan Johnson.

Willy Pflug, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound dual threat, will join the Grizzlies for spring practice. An All-Metro Class 6A pick last year as a junior at Sunset High School in Portland, Oregon, he threw for 2,426 yards and 29 touchdowns and ran for 401 yards and six scores.

Pflug, whose team is 4-2 this season, also had an offer from Eastern Washington. He inked a financial aid agreement with Montana on Oct. 5.

“I’m super excited,” he told the Missoulian Tuesday night. “Luckily I have the opportunity to graduate early so I figured I’d just get enrolled and it’s going to be great to come in and compete with the guys and get involved early with the team."

Pflug, who operates out of the spread, said he remembers watching Johnson lead Eugene’s Sheldon High to a 6A title before Montana’s No. 10 headed to Missoula.
