Former Arizona DE Justin Belknap to transfer to Montana

Justin Belknap was among the Arizona Wildcats players who participated in Senior Night last November, but not long after he wasn’t done playing college football.

Now he’s found a place to finish his career.

The 6-foot-3, 245-pound defensive end announced on Twitter Sunday that he’d be playing this fall for Montana, an FCS school. That means Belknap was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA after spending five years with the UA.

Belknap appeared in all 12 games last season for Arizona, starting twice, recording nine tackles with a sack.
