Watch now: Braydon and Bryson Deming fitting in nicely at Illinois State as transfers from Montana

NORMAL — Twin brothers Braydon and Bryson Deming are Montana guys.

They went to high school in Billings before playing football for the University of Montana in Missoula.

Yet Braydon and Bryson were not afraid to leave Big Sky Country (and the Big Sky Conference) to find a second home both athletically and academically at Illinois State.

“It was a very tough decision but a business decision,” Braydon said. “It was the best move we could make for our future.”

While wanting to remain at a high level of FCS competition, the Demings sought a desirable institution at which to pursue master’s degrees in exercise physiology.
