Remember Max Hoetzel, a little-used freshman forward on the 2014-15 Indiana team?
Well, he’s at San Diego State now, and he has a new last name.
And it’s awesome.
So why did Max - now a junior at SDSU - decide to change his last name from Hoetzel to Montana? Well, per the San Diego Union-Tribune, it was his middle name to start:
His German father, Holger Hoetzel, and Danish mother, Heidi, visited Montana when they first moved to America and, according to Max, “both fell in love with the state.” So much that they gave Max and his two sisters the middle name of Montana.
