On National Signing Day, Montana State head coach Jeff Choate announced a class of 27 new Bobcats, including a collection from untapped recruiting grounds.

The Bobcats signed two players from Florida and one from Georgia. MSU strengthened its pipeline from California’s Trinity League and reestablished itself in Boise.

Montana State also received official letters from Eastside Catholic (Sammammish, Washington) offensive lineman Brody McKnight and Franklin Pierce (Tacoma) wide receiver Willie Patterson in the greater Seattle area. Sheldon (Eugene, Oregon) defensive end Kyle Rygg also signed, helping MSU to reestablish its footprint in the Pacific Northwest. Former head coach Rob Ash and his staff recruited the area sparingly in recent years.
