As mentioned before, his option at MSU is to play a signifigant role as a WR and in the return game immediately, while also being allowed to learn the offense at the QB position. Then, after DMAC is done, to compete with Bleskin and Prukop for the starting spot in the spring and summer of 2014. Or, he could also choose to continue to play WR if he is comfortable there. I was told that was the pitch ASH made to him and it comes from somebody who is in pretty constant contact with the MSU coaching staff. Not to mention, the bonds Tanner has to MSU. His dad is a Bobcat legend, and Trod grew up a Cat fan. When he was a senior at Bozeman, he was quoted several times as wanting to play and go to college elsewhere, not because of anything more than he wanted to leave Bozeman, LIKE MANY kids do when they are 18. And that's a big reason why he was strongly considering UM his senior year. However, he is now two years removed from that mindset, and it isn't impossible to think that he maybe sees home in a different light now, as well as a Cats' program that has become even bigger than when he was playing down the road for the Hawks. It's just my opinion, but I think those things win out in the end, and MSU lands him.
