  2021 ALL-BIG SKY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): MLB Troy Andersen, MSU,...Andersen became the eighth Bobcat to capture Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year honors on Tuesday. He joins defensive end Brad Daly (2013), Bobby's brother, along with linebacker Jody Owens (2012), defensive end Dane Fletcher (2009), outside linebacker Roger Cooper (2004), safety and one-time MSU linebackers coach Kane Ioane (2003), Corey Widmer (1990), and outside linebacker Mark Fellows (1984). One thing Andersen doesn't have in common with most of those previous MVPs was almost constant position changes. After playing on offense for the Cats as a freshman and sophomore - he was Big Sky Freshman of the Year in 2017 as a running back and 1st Team All-Big Sky at quarterback in 2018 - he moved to outside linebacker in 2019. This season, he played middle linebacker.

According to MSU defensive coordinator Freddie Banks, Andersen's ability and willingness to move inside was like a key that unlocked the team's defensive potential. "(That move) let us play the style of defense we wanted to play," Banks said. "He plays really hard, really smart, he's the center of the defense so he makes all the checks for us. He's definitely our team's most valuable player in terms of the defense. I think (the position change) was easy for him because he played quarterback, so the transition wasn't very hard. And he's a leader by nature, I think he might have been born with that trait." - Montana State Football
