Montana NT Jonny Varona brings trench depth and inside toughness
Jonny Varona is listed as a defensive tackle/NT for Montana, and the key reason to care is simple: nose tackles matter most when they hold the point of attack, eat double teams, and let the rest of the defense run free. Publicly available roster info confirms his role, but there is not enough reliable, current statistical or scouting detail in the available sources to credibly grade his 2026 performance, so the safest read is that he profiles as an interior, physical depth piece whose value is in leverage, gap control, and grind-it-out work rather than flashy numbers.
