Dylan McFarland helped pave the way for some of Montana's greatest rushers of all-time as a three-year starter at left tackle and helped lead the Griz to the 2001 national championship and four Big Sky Conference championships.
He was a two-time All-American in 2002-2003 and was named to six different All-America teams. He was also a two-time first team All-Big Sky selection.
In 2003 he was the winner of the Steve Carlson team MVP award, and to this day remains the only offensive lineman to ever earn the honor. He was also a two-time winner of the Paul Weskamp Award for outstanding offensive lineman in 2002 and 2003, one of only eight to win the award more than once in a career.
A team captain as a senior in 2003, he was a four-year letterman on teams that compiled a record of 35-8 in three years as a starter and advanced to two national title games.
McFarland was selected in the 7th round of the 2004 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills and remained in the league for two seasons. He also spent time in NFL Europa with the Hamburg Sea Devils.
In the classroom he was a four-time Academic All-Big Sky selection and a 2003 semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, known as the "Academic Heisman." He was also a two-time member of the FCS Athletic Directors Association Academic All-Star team.
A native of Kalispell, McFarland remains an active member of the Missoula community. He earned both his undergraduate and law degrees at the University of Montana and serves as an attorney at McFarland, Molloy, and Duerkis. He is an active GSA member, and helps underprivileged Missoula area youth attend Griz football games through his work with the GrizKidz program.
