Redshirt freshman Dalton Daum has left the Montana Grizzlies football program, the receiver confirmed to the Missoulian on Saturday.

"I just wasn't happy there and never felt like I was apart (sic) of the team," Daum said in a message.

Daum was a record-setting receiver and track sprinter at Butte High before signing with the Grizzlies last February. He had initially committed to rival Montana State before earning a scholarship offer from UM that swayed his decision.

Daum is the latest of several underclassmen receivers to exit the program since the end of last season. Senior-to-be Ellis Henderson declared for the NFL draft after academic issues threatened his eligibility for this season. Veterans Josh Janssen and Chase Naccarato also left the program for personal reasons, as did Reese Carlson.

UM also lost all-time receiving yards leader Jamaal Jones to graduation, as well as Ben Roberts. Ryan Burke also retired due to concussions.

Daum said he will will finish the spring semester in Missoula and is unsure of his future plans, though they could involve transferring schools to play football, track or even baseball.
