a Bobcat-built DT with a blue-collar edge
Aaron Papich was a tough, high-motor Montana State defensive tackle who turned a walk-on path into All-Big Sky recognition, finishing his Bobcat career with 27.5 tackles for loss and second-team all-conference honors in both 2005 and 2007. He stood out less for raw measurables and more for intensity, durability, and production, though injuries slowed him in 2006. The big takeaway: if you want a lineman who plays with grit, leadership, and dependable disruption rather than flash, Papich’s profile fits the bill.
