Cole on Montana State: “I got a call one day out of nowhere saying they were going to offer me a full ride scholarship. It meant the world to me. It made it feel like all the hard work paid off. I was just like, ‘Sweet, I will always have Montana State in mind.’ But they constantly kept in touch, sending me letters. It just felt right.”
