Jeff Choate has a long list of ideas and critiques when it comes to the landscape of college football. From maximizing player welfare to ensuring the student-athlete experience is a memorable one, Choate has already established a reputation as a players’ coach during his eight months as the head coach of the Montana State Bobcats.

Choate has added a training table to the Bobcat football locker room to improve nutrition.
