Montana State lands 2027 EDGE Dominick Webb, cites culture, brotherhood

Dominick Webb gave Montana State another jolt on the recruiting trail, committing on Friday, April 17, after the Bobcats convinced the 2027 EDGE from Dakota Ridge High School in Littleton, Colorado, that their culture and brotherhood were the right fit.

Webb, listed by recruiting services at 6-foot-5 and 200 pounds, announced the decision on social media the next day. His pledge gives Montana State another long-range piece for its pass-rush pipeline, a position group that will matter as the Bobcats continue to build around the championship standard Brent Vigen has established in Bozeman.

The fit was more personal than flashy. Webb’s offer from Montana State came on February 19, after conversations with tight ends coach Jordan Walsh and defensive line coach Nick Jean-Baptiste. Those relationships carried weight in the final decision, and Webb said the difference was how the Bobcats handled him, with honesty, openness and a standard that made the program feel like a family. He described Walsh and Jean-Baptiste as older brothers who wanted the best for him.

Montana State’s pitch has traveled well beyond Montana because the results are easy to sell. The Bobcats won the FCS national championship in the 2024 season, reached the title game in the same era for the second time in four seasons, and Vigen has turned that run into national credibility since taking over on February 8, 2021. His 2024 Eddie Robinson FCS Coach of the Year honor only sharpened that profile.

Webb arrives with the kind of production that backs up the upside. In 2025, he helped lead Dakota Ridge to a 14-0 record and the Colorado 4A state championship, the school’s first state title. He finished the season with 55 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, six sacks, five pass breakups and two fumble recoveries, while earning South Metro Second Team All-Conference honors. As a sophomore in 2024, he had already landed honorable mention all-conference recognition.

For Montana State, the commitment is another sign that the Bobcats’ message is landing with out-of-state prospects who want more than a depth chart. Webb had offers from North Dakota State and North Dakota, but the combination of championship credibility, defensive development and the feel inside the building won out. In a 2027 class already gaining momentum, Webb adds another Colorado name to a recruiting map that keeps stretching farther from Bozeman.
