The Terry Dillon Award, honoring the outstanding back or receiver, was established in 1964 following the accidental death of former Grizzly Terry Dillon. Dillon played defensive and offensive halfback for UM from 1960 to 1962. He started at defensive halfback for the National Football League Minnesota Vikings. The Paul Weskamp Award was established in memory of Paul Weskamp, a tackle on Ed Chinske’s 1954 Grizzlies. The award honors UM’s out standing lineman and was established by the citizens of Ronan, Montana. The Golden Helmet Award honors the hardest hitter on the team. It was set up on a nationwide basis by the CocaCola Company in 1967. The Larry Miller Award is given in memory of the great Grizzly lineman and wrestler who competed for UM in 1969 and 1970. Miller died in an automobile accident in 1974. The award honors the teams’ outstanding defensive lineman. The Steve Carlson award is given to the teams’ most valuable player in memory of the former Grizzly football player who died in 1977. Pat Norwood was a four year starter at offensive tackle for the Grizzlies (1978-82) from Billings, who died of cancer in 1983. This award is given to the Most Inspirational Player, who often times had to overcome an injury. The Tony Barbour award is given in memory of a Loyal Grizzly Fan. It is presented annually to a UM player, “who best exemplifies outstanding practice habits and makes an unselfish contribution to the betterment of the Grizzly Football Team. Enthusiasm, dedication and commitment are the key factors sought in the person receiving this award.” The Outstanding Linebacker award was inaugurated in 1990, and is given by an anonymous donor.
