Brian Urlacher, a four-time All-Pro linebacker with the Chicago Bears, will serve as the guest speaker for the Montana State’s Triangle Classic Banquet on April 10 at Great Falls’ Four Seasons Arena.

The evening’s proceedings, which features a catered dinner and meet-and-greet opportunities with Bobcat football players and coaches, serves as a kickoff for MSU’s Triangle Classic Scrimmage on Saturday, April 11, at Memorial Stadium.

In addition to Saturday’s scrimmage, MSU and the local organizing committee also offer youth football and cheer camps at Memorial Stadium. The cost is $10 for children in grades three through five. Times for the scrimmage and camps have not yet been set.

A consensus All-America at the University of New Mexico, Urlacher played his entire spectacular NFL career for the Chicago Bears. He was AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2000, and AP Defensive Player of the Year in 2005. He won numerous honors, including the Brian Piccolo Award in 2007 and the Ed Block Courage Award in 2011. He was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2000s, and his 1,353 career tackles is an all-time Bears record.

Tickets for the event are $750 for a table of 10, $85 per person, and $55 for individuals excluding dinner. For information, contact Jim Walden (406/799-7091) or Brett Keaster (406/899-3741) with the local organizing committee, or MSU’s Bobcat Club.
