And I’m surrounded by great people.”All 12 seniors on the Tech roster have had their own unique journey. Safety Jalen Perkins has seen it all at numerous levels of college football before landing in Butte this season in pursuit of a ring.“I’m just glad to be a part of this organization. It’s a true blessing for all the coaches and players, I’m glad I came here. I came here for a reason. I wanted to win a championship. This is a championship team. I’m just glad to be here. We’ve got more to go and a lot of work to do,” said Perkins.Then, there’s Christian Hansen, Perkins’ close friend in the secondary. The cornerback from Butte started college as a track-and-field athlete as Spokane Community before taking a leap of faith by returning to his hometown in 2024.“It’s something out of a movie. When you come here, this is what you expect. It’s awesome,” said Hansen. “We’re just best friends. We always joke around before meetings. But when it’s time to go to work, it’s time to go to work. We do a great job of toeing that line. I love Perk. I love all my teammates.”There’s a lot more work to be done, starting with ending the regular season on the right note by taking down Valley City State on the road next week to ensure the best postseason seed possible.“We want to be playing our best football as we head into the playoffs. I feel like these last two games, we’ve been playing very, very well. We’ve got one more step to take next week in the regular season. We want an opportunity to earn a bye week to get healthy. And then we want to try to earn as many games as we can on Bob Green Field for the playoffs,” said Samson.</div></body>
