Big-bodied, versatile in-state lineman with special-teams value
Nilson is a fifth-year Montana State offensive lineman from Missoula who has steadily carved out a role as a reserve blocker and special-teams contributor, appearing in 14 games in the 2025 season after six games in 2024. At 6-foot-3 and 296 pounds, he brings a sturdy frame, local toughness, and the kind of reliability coaches love: durable enough to stay in the mix, smart enough to handle multiple roles, and respected for academic and multi-sport grit from high school. He looks like a fit for teams wanting depth, physicality, and low-drama consistency.
