SELFLESS AND VERSATILE Calhoun make impact felt with return to defense, move to CB FRANK GOGOLA

ontana senior Justin Calhoun was excited to play wide receiver when he joined the Griz in 2015.

He enjoyed scoring touchdowns, he’d be playing the same position his father did in college and he’d get to line up in the same offense as his brother. Calhoun excelled in that role and was one of Montana’s top receivers in his first two years in the offense.

When the California native recognized a deficiency in the defense ahead of 2018, he offered to switch to cornerback. It was a struggle at first, but his improving play at cornerback over the past 14 games has been key in a Grizzlies’ defense that is off to a strong start this season.

“I’m actually loving corner right now,” Calhoun said ahead of Montana’s non-conference finale against Monmouth at 1 p.m.

Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

“I do miss receiver, but I’m loving it right now. Just love the aggression. At receiver, you’re in attack mode, but really on defense you’re always in attack mode. I like that.”

Whether it’s offense or defense, Calhoun has been a mainstay for the Griz. He’s played in all 36 games since 2016 and has started in 34 of them, both tied for the most among current players.

Montana coach Bobby Hauck and his staff had initially turned down Calhoun’s offer to play defense. They’d change their mind later, and Calhoun has proven himself since then and been a necessary, important contributor as the Griz have lost players at the position.

“He has just kind of a team mentality of what’s best for the team,” Hauck said.

“Everybody here needs to have that. When you’ve got guys that are now seniors that personify that attitude who can be used as an example, it helps the development of the program.”

Breakout wideout‌

Calhoun grew up in Long Beach, California, starting to play football at 5 years old and wearing the No. 3 jersey he still dons at Montana. He and his twin brother, Jeremy Calhoun, played on the Pomona Steel-

Calhoun played primarily at cornerback and didn’t move to offense until his senior year of high school. In playing wide receiver, he followed in the footsteps of his father, Jeremy Calhoun Sr., a wideout at Colorado State who played for Butte native Sonny Lubick in the 1990s.

Playing at Long Beach Poly High School, Calhoun showed enough promise in his one year on offense that former Griz coach Bob Stitt offered him a scholarship to come catch touchdowns.

“That was part of my decision was I

wanted to play receiver when I first came,” Calhoun said. “I played receiver two years here and I felt like I could help the team in a different way, so I expressed that to the coaches. But I definitely wanted to play receiver when I first came.”

After a redshirt season, Calhoun broke out as a freshman by finishing second on the team with 625 receiving yards. He was the team’s fourth-leading receiver in 2017 with 505 yards.

Calhoun totaled 10 touchdown receptions across those two seasons. His favorite memories are his first touchdown catch against St. Francis and his touchdown grab

against Montana State.

Calhoun continued to play wide receiver when Hauck was hired to replace Stitt after the 2017 season. He stayed there through spring camp but went to the coaches and offered to move to corner since the Griz had graduated both starters and the receiving corps was flush with talent.

Hauck and his staff appreciated but declined Calhoun’s gesture. They changed their mind ahead of fall camp, giving the converted receiver just a month to learn their new defense.

Marcus Welnel embracing opportunity FRANK GOGOLA

Marcus Welnel

frank.gogola@missoulian.com‌

‌Montana sophomore Marcus Welnel has taken on a bigger role this season, usually being the first linebacker to come off the bench to spell All-American Dante Olson or Jace Lewis.

The Helena Capital grad has tallied 10 tackles and two tackles for loss through three games this season. He played in all 11 games as a redshirt freshman in 2018, totaling 16 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles and one blocked kick on defense and special teams.

At 6-foot, 230 pounds, Welnel is embracing the opportunity for more playing time on defense, and he feels he brings smarts and speed to the field for the Griz.

Meet Marcus Welnel: Q: Your Twitter bio doesn’t mention anything about you other than saying you’re Jace Lewis’ teammate. How did that come about?

A: I think (former Griz AllAmerican linebacker) Josh Buss started it and said, ‘Jace Lewis’ teammate.’ Then Jace put something. I think Mike Matthews has something. So I just had to put something. It’s a cool linebacker thing we do.

Q: This past game, you had a tackle for loss against Oregon, so was that a pretty exciting moment despite the loss?

A: That was a cool play and the game overall was cool, too, but we lost, so that wasn’t great.

Q: You’re getting some more playing time, so how do you feel the season has gone for yourself three games in?

A: I like it. Playing at this level is cool. It’s a lot different than high school. I just love every opportunity I can get.

Q: How would describe yourself as a linebacker?

A: I’d probably describe myself different than Coach (Bobby Hauck) would, but I think I’m smart and I know what I’m doing and I feel like I’m fast, too.

Q: Where do you feel you’ve

Montana linebacker Marcus Welnel hits Southern Utah quarterback Tyler Skidmore, causing him to fumble the ball during the Grizzlies’ road win in 2018. improved the most since last year?

A: Definitely to be physical and use my hands a lot more to get off blocks. Usually I used to run around blocks, but now I use my hands and can be physical.

Q: You grew up as a Griz fan, so it was probably pretty cool when you committed, but what has being a Griz meant to you after actually getting to play in games?

A: It’s cool. As a kid, I came to almost every Griz game. You see the guys on the field and you just idolize them. Finally to be one of those of those guys, it’s a pretty cool feeling honestly.

Q: When you’ve had All-

American guys like Josh Buss and Dante Olson to play and practice with, what do you take away from them?

A: Just their work ethic how hard they work and how hard they want it. If you want to be good, you got to work for it.

Q: You played both offense and defense in high school, but what do you like about defense at the college level?

A: I like hitting people. I’ve always liked defense. I do like offense, though. I don’t think they’d use me here much, but I do like offense.

Q: If you could convince the coaches to let you play offense, what would you want to

play?

A: Like a tight end, H-back kind of thing. That’s what I did in high school.

Q: Some fun ones to close out. What’s your go-to music before a game?

A: Everything, but I’m known here for how much I like Nickelback. Not many people do, but I do.

Q: Anyone else on the team like them?

A: I think (strength and conditioning) coach (Matt) Nicholson might be one of the only other ones, but maybe a few other guys.

Q: Favorite movies you go to?

A: “Step Brothers.” I like com-

edy movies. That’s really one of the best movies of all time. And “The Avengers.” I’m a big Marvel guy. I got to give them a shoutout, too.

Q: What do you think of the state of Marvel right now?

A: I was kind of sad to hear about “Captain America” and Tony Stark. But I think they’re doing good. “Spider-Man” being out of Marvel now is a little different. We’ll see how everything comes together.

Q: You changed your jersey from No. 56 to 10 this offseason. Why? A: I’ve been 10 in everything.

Ever since I played sports when I was little, 10 was the jersey on the ground, I picked that up, and I’ve been that for football, basketball, baseball, everything. When I got here, that was the first time I had any other different number. Once I got the opportunity to be 10, I wanted to be 10. It’s just the first one I had that first day of fifthgrade football.

Q: Lastly, what’s it like playing for Bobby Hauck?

A: It’s great. He’s a very intense guy. That’s what I like out of a head coach is someone who wants to win.

SCOUTING MONMOUTH | BY FRANK GOGOLA

‌Montana (2-1) plays its non-conference finale when it hosts Monmouth (2-1) at 1 p.m. Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

The following are key Hawks players to keep an eye on during the game, which will be broadcast on ABC/FOX Montana.

Quarterback: Kenji Bahar

Defensive line: Erik Massey

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound fifth-year senior from Baltimore, Maryland, is on the preseason watch list for the Walter Payton Award, given to the top offensive player in the FCS. Now in his fourth year as a starter, Bahar set the school single-season record with 2,769 yards of total offense last year. He’s thrown a touchdown in 21 of his last 22 games. This year, Bahar’s completed 59.8% of his passes for 226.3 yards per game with five touchdown and two interceptions. Not much of a runner, he’s picked up 76 yards and netted 44 on 16 carries, an average of 14.7 per game.

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound junior hybrid defensive end and linebacker from Teanek, New Jersey, has found his way into opposing backfields on a regular basis. Massey leads Monmouth with 3.5 tackles for loss to go with his half sack. He’s also forced one of the team’s four fumbles and has nine total tackles. Massey started all 11 games in 2018, tallying 20 tackles, four tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He’s joined on the defensive line by three projected starters who’ve combined for 16 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one quarterback hurry and one fumble recovery this season.

Running back: Pete Guerriero

Linebacker: Da’Quan Grimes

The 5-foot-10, 190-pound junior from Lyndhurst, New Jersey, has been a workhorse for Monmouth in the run game.

Guerriero became the fastest player in school history to reach 2,000 rushing yards in terms of both carries (316) and games played (21). This year, he’s averaged 26.3 carries per game for an average mark of 131 yards across three games. He’s totaled 393 rushing yards and has rushed for a score in five consecutive games. In 2017, Guerriero flashed his speed when he won the MAAC outdoor track and field championship in the 100- and 200-meter dashes.

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound senior weakside linebacker from Gaithersburg, Maryland, is in the midst of a breakout season.

Grimes leads Monmouth with 20 tackles through three games after tallying 45 last year to finish tied for 20th in the Big South.

Finding his way to the ball carrier, he’s accounted for two of the team’s four forced fumbles. Grimes has also been able to get into the backfield, tallying two tackles for loss, one sack and two quarterback hurries. Linebacker mates Evan Powell and DeJaun Cooper have combined for 25 tackles and two tackles for loss.

Wide receiver: Lonnie Moore IV

Defensive back: Anthony Budd

The 5-foot-10, 170-pound junior from Sicklerville, New Jersey has been Bahar’s favorite target through three games. Moore leads Monmouth in all receiving categories, with 18 receptions for 239 yards, an average of 13.3 yards per catch and 79.7 per game, and two of the Hawks’ five touchdowns. He’s complemented by Terrance Greene Jr., who has 12 catches for 151 yards and two touchdowns, and Joey Aldarelli, who’s caught 16 passes for 134 yards and one score. The three of them have accounted for 524 of Monmouth’s 679 receiving yards, or 77.2% of them.

The 5-foot-11, 190-pound junior free safety from Riverdale, Maryland, has had a strong start to the season. Budd has three of the Monmouth’s four interceptions, tied for tops in the FCS, after not having one since 2017. He’s also tied for third on the team with 14 tackles to go with one tackle for loss, one pass breakup and one quarterback hurry. Budd led the team last season with 7.5 tackles for loss. Senior cornerback Tymere Berry, a STATS FCS preseason third-team All-American, played only the final two series last week while dealing with a reported leg injury.

Offensive line: Mahmoud Shabana

Special teams: Matt Mosquera

The 6-foot-4, 280-pound senior left tackle from New York, New York, is Monmouth’s only returning offensive lineman who started more than six games last season. Shabana started in all 11 games in 2018 and has made 19 consecutive starts dating back to the 2017 season. He was part of an offensive line that helped lead the way for the top passing offense in the Big South and the top conference’s top rusher. Fifth-year senior right guard John Gallina started in six games last season while senior left guard Manny Christian was a starter in four games.

The 5-foot-10, 195-pound senior kicker from Middletown, New Jersey, is coming off a season in which he was named to the AllBig South first team. Mosquera has made six of his seven field goal attempts this season with a long of 47 yards. Last week, he kicked the game-wining field goal in overtime as Monmouth beat Albany. Mosquera has converted on five of his six extra points. He’s also handled kickoffs with an average of 52.9 yards on 16 kicks. Kickoff returner Lonnie Moore IV has averaged 25.1 yards on nine returns with a long return of 47 yards.

Calhoun From 2

Calhoun’s move to what he called the “dark side” forced him to relearn how to play cornerback, especially retraining his eyes as a defender. In 11 games that season, he totaled 56 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, seven passes defensed and one forced fumble.

“I didn’t to go out there and just remember everything, but it was definitely a big learning curve. I learned a lot,” Calhoun said. “I was not polished when I first went over to the defense. I thought I was going to be a little bit more polished.

“I’m actually doing a lot better now. I feel like everything’s come back to me.”

Comfortable Calhoun‌

Calhoun’s contributions at corner have been much needed again since the Griz had one projected contributor have offseason surgery, one transfer out, one last only one week with them in the fall and one move to safety before getting injured.

The 5-foot-10, 184-pound Calhoun

Justin Calhoun Jersey number: 3 Year: Redshirt senior Position: Cornerback Height: 5-foot-10 Weight: 184 Hometown: Long Beach, California High School: Long Beach Poly High School is coming off a good showing at Oregon.

He had five of his seven tackles this season, including one that potentially saved a touchdown. He also broke up a pass that could’ve led to a score, giving him four this year, more than half what he had in 2018.

Calhoun also had a fourth-quarter interception in the season opener at South Dakota that helped seal the victory, channeling his inner receiver to make a leaping snag. It was the first game since he felt like he got back in the groove of being a cornerback.

“I think this spring we just had was when I really started to notice I was getting back in the swing of things,” said Calhoun, who

normally lines up on the right side of the defense, opposite of Dareon Nash. “I always wanted to go out there and have the most confidence that I could win every rep, but I wasn’t as comfortable every day playing corner.”

Hauck said Calhoun “totally” looks more comfortable than his first game last September.

“It’s important to him. He’s worked at it,” Hauck said. “One of the biggest things I’ve seen is he’s developed a corner mentality.

It’s different than wide receiver. You got to play every down and you’re always on the edge, and he’s really done a nice job with that.”

Having a corner mentality to Calhoun means “you got to have a dog in you” and can’t be passive on the field.

To Hauck, it means balancing anticipation of the ball coming their way every play with being relaxed enough to be confident and comfortable. When that happens, cornerbacks become more fluid, see things better and are better able to trust their instincts.

“You’re under duress every play. You have to embrace that,” Hauck said. “You’re going to give up some plays. That’s just the na-

ture of the position – really any position on defense, but at corner, everybody knows it.

“You have to be able to keep playing, even when things don’t go well, and you have to be aggressive. You have to do a lot of things.

He’s done a nice job learning it.”

While Calhoun used to revel in the noise of the home crowd when he scored a touchdown, he now gets the fans on their feet with interceptions and pass breakups.

He still has a quiet confidence about himself and isn’t one to trash talk or taunt his opponents. Hauck said that’s preferred in football players because “the guys that talk the loudest and longest have false confidence.”

Calhoun hopes to end his career by snapping a three-game skid to Montana State and a three-year playoff drought.

Whether or not the Griz do that, his selflessness and versatility are traits that should be appreciated and emulated.

“Definitely been a good move,” Calhoun said. “I don’t regret it at all.”

HOW WE SEE THE BIG SKY BILL SPELTZ

bill.speltz@missoulian.com‌

‌It’s worth noting that 2,329 fans turned out to watch Monmouth’s overtime home win over Albany last Saturday.

That’s taking nothing away from Monmouth, who is 2-0 against FCS competition this season. It’s just kind of amazing that so few folks are interested in attending the games in West Long Branch, New Jersey.

Montana drew over 24,000 fans for its home opener two weeks ago. That coming off a 2018 rebuilding campaign in which the Griz averaged 24,677 fans per home game — second in the FCS only to Jackson State at 24,770.

Needless to say, Monmouth is in for a rude awakening when it comes to crowd noise Saturday. Even when the team opened at FBS Western Michigan it didn’t have to deal with nearly as many rowdies (15,021) as it will deal with Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

Whether that plays to Montana’s advantage remains to be seen. The Hawks are no slouch. They’ve won eight of their last 10 games dating back to September of last year.

In looking back over Monmouth’s record book, it’s been a long, long time since the Hawks have played in front of more than 22,000 fans. Will that be a positive or negative? We’ll soon find out.

Monmouth at No. 19 Montana: This is going to be a good game for at least a half because Monmouth has the personnel to effectively move the football. In fact, it could be a trap game for the Grizzlies if they look past the Hawks to next week’s showdown at UC Davis. I’m picking Montana in a relatively close game. Speltz: Grizzlies 35, Monmouth 27. Gogola: Montana 45, Monmouth 17. Hansen: Montana 30, Monmouth 14. Houghtaling: Griz 34, Hawks 30.

‘Very positive right now’ Monmouth beat writer Steve Edelson shares insight on the Hawks FRANK GOGOLA

frank.gogola@missoulian.com‌

‌Montana closes out its non-conference schedule when it hosts Monmouth at 1 p.m. Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium, with the game broadcast on ABC/FOX Montana.

The 19th-ranked Griz (2-1) are coming off a 35-3 road loss to FBS No. 15 Oregon.

The Hawks (2-1) beat Albany in overtime to stay undefeated against FCS competition.

406mtsports.com caught up with Monmouth beat writer Steve Edelson, who covers the Hawks for the The Asbury Park Press, to talk about this year’s Monmouth team and the outlook for Saturday’s game.

Q: What’s the vibe around this Monmouth team about being 2-0 against FCS teams but both of the wins being by just three points? What does the win over a Colonial Athletic Association team in Albany last week mean for the Hawks going forward?

A: The atmosphere around the Monmouth program is very positive right now.

While both of the Hawks’ wins were by a field goal, they played much better last Saturday, eliminating a lot of the costly mistakes and penalties they committed against Lafayette.

The CAA sent six teams to the FCS playoffs a year ago, and Albany played well in losing to Central Michigan, an FBS foe, to open the season. So, it was a big win for a potential playoff resume if the Hawks can’t win the Big South, which would entail beating Kennesaw State, an FCS quarterfinalist a year ago, on the road.

Q: Who or what has impressed you the most about Monmouth’s play this year? What are the main areas in which they’re still trying to improve?

A: The most impressive and somewhat surprising aspect of Monmouth’s play this season has been their ability to run the ball behind a completely rebuilt offensive line. Junior running back Pete Guerriero is second in FCS rushing after

three games, and the conference 100-meter champion as a freshman continues to show his toughness, carrying the ball 30 times last week.

The biggest disappointment has been the play of the secondary, which had been considered a strength when the season started. And now cornerback Tymere Berry, a first-team all-conference selection last year, is hobbled by a leg injury.

Q: How many people are Monmouth typically playing in front of at home?

How do you expect them to handle playing in front of 25,000 at Montana, and has anyone on this roster competed in front of a crowd of a similar size?

A: Monmouth has about 4,500 undergraduate students, many of whom commute to campus, and the program only began giving scholarships a decade ago, so their home crowds are not to the level of many other FCS programs.

However, they do play FBS teams every year, playing in front of 16,000 at Western Michigan earlier this month. I’m not sure what the biggest crowd the team has ever played in front of, but they lost at Montana State, 42-24, in 2013 in front of 21,000 fans.

Q: What does Monmouth have to do to win this game? What areas or matchups will you be watching?

A: Monmouth has to be able to get pressure on the quarterback. They got two sacks against Albany last week but struggled to get pressure. They were at their best defensively when they blitzed.

If they can’t generate a pass rush, it’s going to be a long day for the secondary.

Albany’s Juwan Green caught 15 passes for 245 yards and three TDs last Saturday.

Q: What’s your score prediction for this game? Why? A: The Hawks have beaten nationally ranked teams before. They knocked off a very good Liberty team a few years ago and lost on a last-second field goal to Coastal Carolina when they were No. 1. But I don’t think this team is quite ready to handle a top-20 program like Montana.
