Montana State freshman OL Vaughn Wirkus brings size, local pedigree, and early development upside
Vaughn Wirkus enters his freshman season at Montana State as a 6-foot-5, 260-pound reserve offensive lineman with real long-term upside, coming from Helena’s Capital High where he was a 2024 state-title starter and earned 2nd Team All-Western AA as a junior. His value is less about box-score stats and more about traits: he already has championship experience, positional size, and the kind of local, hard-nosed background that fits a program built on physicality and depth development. He looks like a strong fit if you want a developmental lineman with toughness and room to grow.
