Freshman DT John Hurst-Daniels brings rare frame, but is still an evaluation play
John Hurst-Daniels is a 2026 freshman defensive tackle for Montana State listed at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, and his biggest selling point is projection: he already has the length and build you want up front, but he’s still early in his college development. The stat sheet is basically blank so far, which means the real story is upside, not production. If you’re looking for an immediate anchor, he’s probably not that yet; if you want a young, moldable lineman with room to add power and become disruptive, he’s the kind of body worth betting on.
