Montana State’s physical, high-volume senior safety and captain
In the 2024 season, Rylan Ortt emerged as one of Montana State’s most reliable defensive leaders, finishing as the Bobcats’ leading tackler with 85 stops while earning First Team All-Big Sky honors and captain status. He stands out for his physicality, fast play recognition, and willingness to make tackles all over the field, with coaches and media highlighting his pivotal role in MSU’s championship-caliber defense. He is a strong fit for teams that value a tone-setting safety/nickel who brings production, toughness, and leadership rather than just splashy measurables.
