A trio of Bobcat All-Americas wore #76
Every day we look at players who donned the jersey number corresponding to the number of days until the Bobcats open the 2013 season on August 29 against Monmouth. The list of MSU football players by the jersey number is based on preseason rosters. The set of available rosters is complete from 1946-81 and '83-present. Only the 1926-27, 1934, 1937 and 1941 rosters are available in the pre-WWII years. Corrections, additions, or rosters that fill out the set are welcome to blamberty@msubobcats.com.
#76
Marshall Womack, OL: Marshall Womack is a promising offensive line prospect who drew praise from Bobcat coaches during his work as a redshirt in 2012. He made progress throughout the spring and is part of a talented, young Bobcat offensive line that has the opportunity to play intact over the next two seasons. He enters the fall as John Weidenaar's backup at left tackle.
Spotlight Player: Jeff Hansen was a great player for Montana State. He might have been even more important as a symbol. He committed to Mike Kramer and his staff in 2004-05, when a lot of people in the Treasure State hadn't come to grips with the fact that the Bobcat program was back, and was around for the long run. Back-to-back championships in 2002 and '03 made believers out of some, but considerable work remained. Bringing a player of Hansen's stature and status, and signing a player from legendary coach Jack Johnson's CMR program, to Bozeman was a major step forward. And Hansen didn't disappoint. Hansen was a second team all-league as a sophomore and junior, honorable mention All-America as a junior, and First Team All-Big Sky and All-America as a senior. The play of offensive linemen Hansen and Mike Person helped smooth the transition from Kramer's staff to Rob Ash's, and Hansen remains universally liked and respected in and around the Bobcat football program.
Notable #76s in the Bobcat Past: A pair of All-Americas, lineman Bob Biastoch and long snapper Dusty Daws, each wore #76. Brad Callan was a solid offensive lineman for the Bobcats in the 1990s, as well.
Through the years: Ed Ritt (1956), Floyd Robinette (1957), Bob Biastoch (1959-61), Tom Marinan (1962-65), Mike Tocher (1967-69), Wes Wiskus (1970), Joe Johnson (1971), Dan Jondal (1972-74), Jeff Conley (1975-78), Mark Murnan (1979), Eric Harlington (1980-83), Brian Kaufman (1984-87), Ernie Belanger (1988), Pate Anderson (1989), Robert Szidisin (1990), Jason Rogers (1991-92), Brad Callan (1993-97), Ben Werner (1999-2000), AJ Allard (2001), Dusty Daws (2003), Jeff Hansen (2005-09), Cole Ratzburg (2011), 2012 Marshall Womack (2012-)
