Performance of the Week: Blanchard Montabella's Brady Kieff
November 20, 2025
Brady Kieff ♦ Blanchard Montabella
Senior ♦ Football
Kieff ran 13 times for 86 yards and three touchdowns – including the game-winner with 1:04 to play – as Montabella came back from a 20-point deficit to defeat Norway 32-28 in an 8-Player Division 1 Semifinal. The Mustangs (11-1) have won their first Regional championship and set a record for wins this season, and next will face Martin on Saturday in the Division 1 Final at Superior Dome at Northern Michigan University.
A 5-foot-10, 160-pound running back, Kieff missed all of his junior season with an injury – but he has stormed back as a senior leading Montabella in rushing with 1,561 yards – 8.4 per carry – and 19 touchdowns. Kieff also plays baseball and plans to attend Mid Michigan College immediately after high school and then Lake Superior State University to study conservation, law and biology as he hopes to eventually work for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
