If all goes according to plan, Beau Sandland will be the first Montana State Bobcat to hear his name called in the NFL Draft since Mike Person in 2010.

The 6-foot-6, 260-pound tight end was physically dominant at times during his lone season in the Big Sky Conference in 2015. The former Miami transfer caught nine touchdowns and earned All-America honors as MSU led the Big Sky in scoring offense.

Replacing such a prodigious talent seems like a daunting task. Sandland is the second straight first-team All-Big Sky tight end MSU hopes to replace. Tiai Salanoa earned the recognition as a senior in 2014.
