Montana State’s Old-School Tight End With Bobcat Grit
Ty McDonald is remembered at Montana State as a tough, in-state tight end and special-teams contributor who fit the Bobcats’ blue-collar identity; he was described by the program as a solid reserve TE and standout on special teams, with a strong Montana background and a nickname story that fits the personality perfectly: “The Bus Driver.”[1][4] In the 2006 season, Montana State listed him at 6-2, 223 and noted his value came less from flash and more from reliability, physicality, and doing the dirty work that winning teams love[4].
