#74
Conor Reitler, OL: Known in the Bobcat program as a hard worker, Conor Reitler is a redshirt possibility. The Billings Skyview product brings good size to the MSU offensive line, and his continued physical development will determine his number of snaps.
Spotlight: Lee Washburn had the kind of football career a lot of people dream about. He was an all-state tackle for local legend Tom LeProwse at Bozeman High after previously playing high school ball in both Dillon, Montana, and Newell, South Dakota. Once at MSU, Washburn moved into a starting role on the offensive line as a sophomore in 1975, was a key cog in the school's National Championship a year later, and was a first team all-league choice as a senior in 1977. He played on a National Championship team and was part of Sonny Holland's last senior class at MSU. But even now, Washburn is known as the second-ever Mr. Irrelevant. Once a year – at NFL Draft time – people come across Washburn's name and memories of his career are revived on a greater scope than likely anyone imagined as the final selection in the 1978 NFL Draft, chosen by the Dallas Cowboys.
