Jake Vigen is a local, developmental DE with untapped upside for Montana State
Vigen is a Montana State reserve defensive end who has steadily earned snaps, playing in nine games in 2024 and finishing with five tackles, including 0.5 for loss, plus a pass breakup in a playoff win over Idaho[6]. At 6-foot-2 and about 240 pounds, he profiles as a sturdy, high-motor edge player rather than a pure speed rusher, with early college production that suggests useful depth and special-teams value[6][1]. His background as a Bozeman native and Gallatin standout adds local familiarity and coachable reliability, and he looks like a fit for teams that want effort, toughness, and rotation help more than splashy sack totals[6].
