Montana State Football Lands Tight End Dax Yeager From Choteau

Tight end Dax Yeager from Choteau, Montana committed to play football at Montana State University on Friday afternoon. The Bobcats won the FCS national championship last season.

Yeager's commitment keeps another Montana high school player in-state. This is important for Montana State as they try to build on their championship success with local talent.

The Bobcats compete in the Big Sky Conference at the FCS level, which is one division below the major college football programs. Winning the FCS championship put Montana State at the top of their division.

Keeping in-state players like Yeager helps the program maintain strong ties to Montana communities. It also gives local high school athletes a chance to play for their home state's championship team.
