disruptive Montana State edge with a history of finishing plays
Preston Gale is a 6-foot-3, 240-pound freshman defensive end for Montana State, and his profile suggests a classic edge rusher build with room to grow into a bigger Big Sky impact player in the 2026 season. Montana State’s historical notes on a different Preston Gale—an older Bobcat standout—highlight the kind of traits that matter at DE: toughness, backfield disruption, and play-making urgency. If this is the current Bobcat Preston Gale, the key question is development; if he carries that same edge-player DNA, he fits a defense looking for length, power, and nasty effort off the edge.
