Academics: Agriculture

Jobman on Montana State: “It was kind of crazy thinking about all of that but I had some time to think about it and with my family, I talked about it with my dad, coaches come and go in college football all the time. That didn’t make me too nervous. I knew they would end up hiring the right coach in the end. And they did. I took it because I know what I want to study and I know I want to be in Bozeman.”

Coach Choate on Jobman: “I think this guy is going to be a player. Defensively, he played all over the field for Huntley like a lot of Class B kids do but he’s got that length. He’s another long guy. If you look at all the guys we are talking about, we are targeting guys who are 6-foot-3 or taller that have position versatility. He played inside linebacker and I think he is going to play defensive end here. I think he is a really good athlete, talented basketball player and his dad played at the University of Nebraska. Love this kid’s work ethic, his grind, his passion for the game.”
