Bozeman High senior wide receiver Evan Hughen announced his commitment to Montana State football Wednesday via social media.

Hughen — a 6-foot-2, 175-pound WR/DB — was offered a preferred walk-on spot by the Bobcats in June. He recently went on a visit to MSU’s Gold Rush game against South Dakota State last weekend with Bozeman teammates Walker Roodell and Luke Zundel.

As a junior in 2024, Hughen finished with 43 catches for 768 yards and six touchdowns, earning second team all-state honors. Hughen is also an all-state cornerback and returns kicks for the Hawks.

Through two games in 2025, he has eight catches for 163 yards and two TDs, per MaxPreps.
