Montae Pate Brings Length, Production, and a Ready-Made Starting Profile to Northwestern
Montae Pate looks like a strong fit for Northwestern’s secondary because he arrives with real production and a proven resume: in the 2025 season at Weber State, he earned First Team All-Big Sky honors with 53 tackles, 10 pass breakups, 5.0 tackles for loss, and an interception. The big differentiator is his size and range at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, which gives him outside-corner upside and the kind of match-up flexibility coaches love. He also brings a high-activity, physical style that shows up beyond the stat sheet, which should help him compete for an immediate role in Evanston.
