by After landing on the preseason all-conference lists awarded by Athlon Sports and PhilSteele.com, redshirt sophomore left tackle Shiyazh Pete proved his believers right during the 2023 season as he was one of the Aggies’ top offensive linemen for the second consecutive season. This year, Pete has started all 13 games for the Aggies despite battling through a hand injury that left the Montana native in a cast for much of the season. Pete has served as the Aggies’ blindside protector on a line which enters bowl season ranked 33rd in the nation and third in the conference in sacks allowed per game. Additionally, Pete has provided support along the outside for a rushing attack which ranks 11th nationally in yards per game at 202.7.
