ALL-TIME BOBCATS: Ron East

Ron East had a single spectacular season at MSU
JUNE 12: Each day until Montana State's 2019 season opener the staff of Bobcats By The Numbers will offer a look at one of the players to make one of the school's all-time teams, in alphabetical order. On November 21, 1933, The Exponent announced 37 players selected by a panel of former players and coaches, divided into three teams that comprised Montana State's "mythical" all-time team. In 1969, the Billings Gazette's Norm Clarke conducted a poll to select the school's all-time team, and again in 2000 Bobcat Athletics and the Billings Gazette selected a third all-time team. The BBTN staff added players from the 21st century.
Ron East, OL, 1966
ALL-TIME TEAM: 1969 Billings Gazette Poll
HONORS: 1st Team All-Big Sky 1966.
A CLOSER LOOK: Ron East's time at Montana State may not have been long, but it was memorable. He transferred from Columbia Basin Junior College, but arrived with only one year of eligibility. He made the most of it, locking down a defensive tackle spot, earning 1st Team All-Big Sky honors and helping erase the memory of a disappointing, injury-riddled 1965 by returning the Cats to the top of the Big Sky Conference. East would go on to a productive NFL career following his time at Montana State.
