Jacob Hadley is very matter of fact when describing his physical transformation since he arrived on the Montana State campus last summer.
“I ate a lot of food,” Hadley deadpanned after a mid-week practice at MSU during the Bobcats’ almost complete set of 15 spring football practices.
Hadley’s athleticism was never in doubt during his standout career at Billings Central. The 6-foot-6 athlete used his smooth running ability, standout ball skills and an elite jumping accentuated by his broad wingspan to earn Class A first-team all-state honors as a wide receiver, a cornerback and a slashing forward on the Rams’ basketball team.
But Hadley’s ideal college position was a mystery when he signed with MSU in February of 2016. His frame looked like a wide receiver but in one of his first conversations with MSU head coach Jeff Choate, Hadley couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved to hit.
