Dave Kempfert

Dave Kempert, OL - Missoula native Dave Kempfert grew up in Missoula and was as close to the UM athletic department as any kid in the Garden City. His father, Al Kempfert, was an administrator in the athletic department. His brother, Matt Kempfert, was the top player for Blaine Taylor on the men’s basketball team. When Dave Kempfert joined Joe Glenn’s Griz, he rapidly carved out a reputation all his own. The center was a senior in 1995 and earned All-American honors, helping anchor the interior of an offensive line that featured three All-Americans.
