Blayde Becksted brings veteran Big Sky toughness and short-yardage value to Montana State
Becksted is a compact, physical senior back with proven production and a track record as a reliable depth piece for Montana State, including 222 rushing yards and three touchdowns in 2009 while playing all 11 games. His standout differentiator is his blend of toughness and experience: he was a high-school workhorse who piled up 1,983 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns, and the Bobcats describe him as a productive player who has had to battle injury luck. That makes him appealing for teams that value downhill running, competitiveness, and a player who can handle adversity.[1][2]
