veteran Bobcat kicker with proven leg and special-teams value
In the 2026 context, Tristan Bailey profiles as a seasoned Montana State specialist whose biggest selling points are experience, consistency, and kickoff utility—he’s listed as a senior kicker at 6-1, 210 and has previously shown he can handle pressure, including a 2019 Big Sky Special Teams Player of the Week honor. His stat line across earlier MSU seasons shows a reliable PAT track record and enough field-goal range to matter, though his field-goal accuracy has fluctuated, so he’s best viewed as a steady special-teams fit rather than a pure automatic weapon.
