Bozeman-grown depth piece with room to pop at DT
In the 2025 season, Jaren Perkins appeared in two games for Montana State and logged his first career tackle against Eastern Washington, a small but meaningful step for a fifth-year defensive tackle who has grown from redshirt depth into a sturdy rotational body at 6-foot-1 and 275 pounds. He’s a hometown Bobcat with a family-football background, and that usually shows up in the little things: steady effort, program familiarity, and toughness. If you need instant splash, he’s not that guy yet; if you want a reliable, developmental interior lineman with culture fit, he’s interesting.
