Montana State confident in potential of defensive line

Marcus Wehr, Blake Schmidt and Tua Areta were seemingly constantly working out together this offseason, usually building strength in Montana State’s weight room.

Bobcats defensive coordinator Kane Ioane called them “the triplets” because of how much time they’ve spent with each other while trying to improve. Before the coronavirus pandemic forced MSU to cancel spring workouts, Ioane recognized how those three redshirt freshmen were eager to prove themselves. He said they have the talent and work ethic to contribute soon.

The Bobcats have relied on their experience up front defensively in their past two playoff seasons.
