Montana’s Dylan Smith: High-upside, local defensive line depth with scout-team grit
Dylan Smith is a 6-foot-4, 248-pound defensive lineman from Whitehall, Mont., who gives Montana local toughness and developmental upside in the trenches. In the 2024 season, Montana listed him as a redshirt junior expected to add depth on the D-line and contribute more on special teams, while a 2024 breakdown noted he had played in just one game across three seasons but was the 2023 co-defensive scout team player of the year. That tells the story: he may not be a stat-sheet monster yet, but his work rate, size, and long-term projection make him a smart fit for teams valuing motor and upside.
