Neil Daily brings Montana toughness and playmaking punch to the Bobcats’ linebacker room
Neil Daily has emerged as a high-upside, homegrown linebacker for Montana State, stepping into a starting role in the 2024 season and averaging nearly four tackles per game after the switch, with 5.5 tackles for loss, a career-high 10 tackles against Eastern Washington, plus splash plays like a forced fumble against Idaho and a fumble recovery at UC Davis. He’s a 6-3, 230-pound Bozeman-area product who plays with visible urgency and instincts, and reports also highlight that he’s back at full strength and respected for his work as a civil engineering major—good signs for teams valuing production, intelligence, and edge.
