Bozeman’s Two-Way Playmaker: Evan Hughen Brings Length, Ball Skills, and Toughness to MSU’s Secondary
In the 2026 season, Evan Hughen enters Montana State as a freshman DB with intriguing upside thanks to his 6-2 frame, 175-pound build, and proven ball production in high school, where he recorded two interceptions, three pass breakups, and three forced fumbles as a senior while also showing versatility as a receiver. He projects as a physical, competitive defensive back with local roots, a strong all-around athlete profile, and the kind of high-intensity makeup coaches love for special teams and developmental snaps.
