Pegues on Montana State: “Bozeman, it’s a beautiful place with the mountains, the snow, the people. It’s just an amazing place. Montana State, I like the atmosphere. I was in the stands (vs. Southern Utah). I got to feel the atmosphere and the fans. I love the fans and how excited they were for the team. And even though Montana State was down and ended up losing, they kept fighting to the end. They didn’t give up on any plays until the clock said zero. I really enjoyed that. I thought that was an X factor in me committing there.”

Coach Choate on Pegues:“This guy can go. He’s a bowling ball-sized guy who weights 190 pounds at 5-foot-8 but he has really, really exceptional top-end speed, great vision and balance. He’s a guy who could have an immediate impact for us.”
