MISSOULA, Mont. -- Wide receiver and returner Mike Rigell, who transferred to the University of Montana from BYU in January, has left UM, coach Mick Dennehy announced Friday.
Rigell -- a 5-foot-8, 175-pound sophomore -- has decided to attend Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, Calif., "with hopes that he will realize his dreams of playing in the Pac-10," Dennehy said.Rigell was vying for one of UM's starting wide receiver spots and also would have returned kickoffs and punts. He averaged 28 yards per kickoff return last season to lead the Western Athletic Conference.
"Although we are disappointed that Mike decided to go elsewhere, I feel that we will be better off because of his indecisiveness," Dennehy said in a press release. "It is obviously a big gamble on his part, and I hope that he settles in wherever he goes, and things work out for him."
Another BYU transfer, quarterback Drew Miller, is slated to start for the Grizzlies this fall.
