University of Montana offensive lineman and 2005 Sidney High School graduate Terran Hillesland has earned first team All-Big Sky honors.

The 6-7, 320-pound guard is the son of Chris Hillesland and Therese Hillesland. The senior was an honorable mention All-Big Sky Conference selection a season ago.

Hillesland, who redshirted in 2005 and then saw starting time throughout his freshman, sophomore and junior seasons, has stepped into a leadership role this season for the Grizzlies' young offensive line.

"Terran has been an outstanding player for us. He just gets better and better each year," University of Montana football coach Bobby Hauk said in the 2009 media guide.
