Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott throws the ball during practice on Tuesday at Bobcat Stadium.
Samuel Wilson/Chronicle/Report for AmericaTommy Mellott was peppered with light-hearted comments from his Montana State teammates before and during his scrum with reporters after Saturday’s spring football practice at Bobcat Stadium.
Most of the players said something along the lines of “Touchdown Tommy” and “I love you” to Mellott. Offensive coordinator Taylor Housewright joked that he wanted Mellott’s autograph. The quarterback from Butte reacted to it all with a confident smile.
Mellott has only started four games with the Bobcats, but he sent a jolt through the Football Championship Subdivision.
