Shawn Merz, although he may not start, is another veteran player. I could go all the way down the line for others who have played a lot in the past. I’d say this defensive front is as good as any we’ve had, and we’ve had some good defensive fronts here.” Other veterans back on the D-line are senior ends Sean Brickley and Britt Fred, jun­ ior tackle Lance Allen, and sophomore end Keith Jones. “We feel our linebacker core is extremely solid,” Read said. “We’ve got some very good players there, led by Chad Lembke, who has been a great one for us. There are a bunch of other guys who we feel very good about.” Lembke, a senior, was first team all-league, led the Grizzlies with 121 tackles, and is a candidate for the Big Sky’s Defensive Player of the Year award. He is backed up by promising players Garrett “Dr. Doom” Venters, a sophomore, and redshirt freshman Yohanse Manzanarez. At the other inside linebacker slot, two more talented sophomores are waiting for their chances. Dan Downs will probably get the starting nod, although Eric Lono had a solid spring. Both players started twice last season. At outside linebacker, sophomore Kurt Schilling started once last year and will get the starting nod. Montana boasts one of the best safety tandems in the nation in Honors Candidates Todd Ericson and Sean Dorris. Those two ranked two-three behind Lembke last sea­ son in tackles with 94 and 91, respectively. Versatile senior letterman Dan Anderson backs up Schilling and Ericson, and had an outstanding spring. Promising sophomore Mike Goicoechea backs up Dorris, and like Anderson, is a top-notch special teams player. “This is the best combination of safeties that I’ve had as a coach,” Read said. “I think Dorris and Ericson are just outstanding, and we think Schilling is a big play guy, and our corners both played a lot last year, and are very capable. Defensively, I believe we’re going to be as good as we’ve been.” The cornerback position is similar to linebacker, as seniors Stacy Edwards and Quentin Burns each had starting stints last season. Junior redshirt Carl Franks could step in at either spot if needed, and talented junior college recruits also bolster this position. Perhaps the biggest question mark after spring drills was in the kicking game. Receiver/returner Shannon Cabunoc “I think our punting will be as good or better than last year and Gurnsey was more “I feel real good about our potential as a football team, with one scary thing — the consistent this spring,” Read said. “Another key is the return of Dennis Scates, who has difficulty of the schedule,” said seventh-year UM head coach Don Read. “I think we really turned into an outstanding snapper. Our place-kicking situation is still up in the might be better than last year, but it might not show up (in the win-loss record). air, because we haven’t decided who that will be, but all of the rest of our kicking game “Scheduling is so important in terms of who is going to win in the end,” Read said. should be solid.” “I do feel like we’re going to have a certain amount of carry-over from last season. I Read said he thought the Big Sky, “returns a lot of good players this year. There were felt like our team got stronger as the season went on last year, and that will help us a lot of teams that had quality juniors last year, or had quarterbacks who were outstanding in the early part of the season.

The Grizzlies return just 11 starters, seven on offense, three on defense and their punter, and Read thinks his team will be better on both sides of the football. “We have key guys back in key positions,” said Read. “When you talk about the line­ backers, the safeties, the quarterbacks, and the receivers, they’re people who touch the ball, or react, or make plays on the ball. That’s really important to us to have out­ standing players in those positions. “The other thing is, that even though there are only 11 players who started a lot, we play a lot of kids in our rotation,” Read said. “For instance, we lost all four starters on the defensive front, but the four who will take their places this season all played a bunch last year. I don’t really see any dropoff.” “We’re going to improve offensively, especially if you look at where we are now, and where we were at this time a year ago,” Read said. “(Quarterback) Brad Lebo has a year under his belt, we have five or six receivers who started or played a lot last year, so the continuity between quarterbacks and receivers is definitely there. “I think the other thing that gives us a big plus offensively, especially this year com­ pared to last, is Mick Dennehy,” Read said. “He took over as the coorindator he got better and better as we went along. I can see us solidified as an offense, with much more offense than a year ago. We are thin on the offensive line in terms of depth, and that is a concern.” Lebo, a 6-4 senior, passed for a school record 3,384 yards last season, and was a second team All-Big Sky Conference selection. Three of his four favorite targets are back, in Shalon Baker, Mike Carlsen and Bill Cockhill, while fifth-year senior Shannon Cabunoc returns after sitting out last season with a hamstring injury. Veterans Mike Guevara, Jeff Horstch, Scott Gurnsey, and Gary Burton add quality depth. Junior Honors Candidate Frank Garrett at right guard is the only returning starter back on the line. However at right tackle, sophomore Scott Gragg and senior Jason Klohs both played a lot of minutes last season, as did left guard Dan Bise. Senior Jason Barker is coming off a redshirt year (shoulder) and has good experience at left tackle, while junior center Joe Martin had a very consistent spring. Running back is also a deep position on offense, as seniors Marc Monestime, Tony Rice and Mark DeBourg return. Between them they compiled almost 800 of UM’s net yards, and had all 10 of Montana’s rushing touchdowns. Montana’s three returning starters on defense, Sean Dorris, Todd Ericson, and Chad Defensive Tackle Chuck Mason Lembke were All-Big Sky choices last year, and six returning lettermen on “D” have all had starting stints some time during their careers. 10 All-American Candidates BRAD LEBO, 3V 6-4, 210, QUARTERBACK, SENIOR 3 from POST FALLS, IDAHO B r a d waited in the wings for two years, and when he finally got his opportunity last year he made the best W m of it, as he tied or broke seven school marks, including a record 3,384 passing yards. He was ranked 6th in the nation in total offense last year, averaging 283.0 yards a game. He was named second team All-Big Sky Conference, and selected co-winner of Montana’s Steve Carl­ m son Award (MVP), sharing that honor with record-setting senior receiver Marvin Turk. t Against Nevada he passed for a school-record 489 yards, completing 36 of 58 passes for 3 TDs, with no m , m&k, interceptions. His 71 plays in that game was a league high and a Montana record, and his 36 completions tied a Grizzly record. Going into the 1992 season he has thrown 152 passes without an interception. In the Grizzlies’ season finale at Idaho he was 32 of 48 for 411 yards and a UM record-tying 5 touchdowns, and no picks. He also had 5 TD passes against Weber State. Montana won five of its last six games in ‘91, and Lebo passed for more than 300 yards in all of those games, and broke the 400-yard plateau three times. His 489 passing yards against Nevada was second most in the Big Sky last year, and 5th most in Big Sky history. He set a school record three weeks earlier, passing for 466 yards (the third most in the league last season) against WSU. Despite starting in only 11 career games he is already third in career passing at Montana with 4,071 yards. “Brad Lebo has the personality of a linebacker, because he is so mentally and physically tough,” said head coach Don Read. “He can take a lot of punishment and is very durable. He is extremely capable under pres­ sure, which is so important in a quarterback. He is at his best when there’s a big play, and the heat of battle is at its height. “He oozes with confidence, and really believes that every time he lines up he can make something happen — he totally believes that,” Read said. “He is like a coach on the field because he has an excellent grasp of what’s happening on the football field. He reads cover well, and can break down weaknesses in a defense. He handles pressure very well. He has the arm to throw the deep ball and the out, and yet he has nice touch on the ball when necessary. “He has improved his quickness, and is very quick in the pocket and can get out of trouble when he needs to,” Read said. “Brad Lebo is certainly one of the better quarterbacks in the United States, and certainly a top pro prospect as we see it.” A much-heralded prep QB, Brad passed for 2,254 yards and 24 touchdowns his senior year at Lewistown (ID) High School, completing a school-record 67 percent of his passes. That season he was named a USA Today All-American, and chosen as the 1987 Idaho Back of the Year. His prep coach was Nick Menegas. Business major. PRONOUNCED: Lee-BOE. Year G-S COMP.x ATT.-PCT. INT.

L a s t season was a banner one for Todd, as he was named first team All-Big Sky Conference as a sopho­ more. He was Montana’s second leading tackier with 94, and had a team-high 56 unassisted stops. It is evident he has a nose for the football, as he had a team-high with 4 fumble recoveries and 3 (tie) inter­ ceptions. He also blocked a field goal in the Nevada game, and had 9 tackles and a fumble recovery in that game. He returned a fumble 11 yards for a touchdown against Humboldt State. He also excels on several of Montana’s special teams. He had 10 or more tackles in four games, and a career-high 17 (11 unassisted) against Weber State last season. He was selected UM’s 1991 season co-captain (along with senior defensive tackle Thad Huse). He was also the co-winner of the Golden Helmet Award (Hardest Hitter), along with senior cornerback Dethrick Slocum. “When Todd came here (defensive coordinator) Jerome Souers had great expectations for him, and we had him ear-marked to become our free safety,” said Griz head coach Don Read. “In fact, he even got num­ ber 37 from former free safety (All-American) Timmy Hauck. He plays a lot like Timmy for that matter. “The thing about Todd Ericson, a former quarterback and former team captain at Butte High School, is that he’s used to winning, he’s used to making big plays, and competing under pressure,” Read said. “He’s done that for us and then some. But, above and beyond those things, he has great physical and mental tools. He’s been timed at 4.57 in the 40, and has excellent size. He has the frame to come up and support run and really bang you, and also has the speed to run with any receiver. “Todd is the center-fielder in our coverage. He’s a complete player, and I have not coached many athletes who can do the things that he can do — I can count them on one hand,” Read said. “He is just a tremendous football player, and I just can’t say enough about him.” As a redshirt freshman at UM he played in all 11 games, starting once, and had 21 tackles and an interception. He was a first team All-State selection at Butte High School for coach Jon McElroy at Butte High School. He is one of three veterans from Butte on UM’s defense (Chad Lembke and Lance Allen). He participated in Montana’s annual Shrine Game. He was all-conference in football and basketball. He is a Business Administration major. Year G-S UT AT TT TL/YDS. FF FR PD INT.

11 ■Honors Candidates- SHALON BAKER, IV 5-5, 155, WR 11 Sophomore from Vancouver, Washington T h e runner-up for-Big Sky Conference’s Top Newcomer honors last year as a true freshman. Shalon received eight points in the balloting, and was edged out by Nevada sophomore receiver Bryan Reeves, who got 10 points. He is Montana’s leading returning receiver, and named “Freshman of the Year” last season. In 1991, he had 48 recep­ tions for 702 yards and 5 touchdowns. He was the Grizzlies’ No. 2 receiver, and ranked 10th (tie) in the Big Sky, averaging 4.4 catches a game. His 702 yards last season rank him eighth in school history in single-season receiving yards. A starter in eight games, Shalon had a reception in every game he played in (10) last season. He did not play in the opener against Humboldt State, because he was being considered for redshirt status. Three games into the season he came into his own with career-highs of 10 catches for 117 yards at McNeese State. He also had 100-yard receiving games against Northern Arizona (6 for 103) and Boise State (6 for 114). He had four or more catches in seven of 10 games, and his 5 TD grabs were second most on the team. His longest TD reception was a 68-yarder at Eastern Washington. “Shalon Baker has great quickness, and is a break-away threat every time he gets the ball,” said head coach Don Read. “He also possesses a lot of confidence for a young player. Last year he was a big player for us in a time that we were rebuild­ ing in the receiver position. We look for many good things out of him this year.” Baker came to Montana from Evergreen High School, where he was All-State, all-conference, team MVP, and a Shrine Game participant. As a prep he had 81 catches for 1,442, averaging 17.8 yards per reception. The speedster (4.48 in the 40) also averaged 27 yards per kickoff return and 14.5 yards on punt returns. His high school coach was Joe Eagle. He is a business major. Year G-S Rec.-Yds.-Avg./TD Yards Per Game 1991 10-8 48-702-14.6/5 70.2

SHANNON CABUNOC, 3V/RS 5-5, 155, WR/KOR Senior from Waipahu, Hawaii U n e of the top all-purpose yardage leaders in the I-AA ranks two seasons ago Shannon sat out last season with a ham­ string injury. Shannon has 2,222 career yards. He was a Big Sky Conference honorable mention pick in 1989 and 1990. He was fifth in the Big Sky in kickoff returns in 1990, averaging 21.5 yards, and among the Big Sky leaders in receiving with 49 catches for 4.4 a game, ranking him 10th. As a sophomore he was second in the league and 30th in the nation in kickoff returns, averaging 21.8 yards a return. “Shannon gives us a veteran receiver, who has played more downs than anyone on our team on offense,” said head coach Don Read. “Pound-for-pound he’s probably the toughest guy on our team. He doesn’t make mistakes and has great acceleration off the line of scrimmage. “Keep in mind that this is his fifth year and he played as a (true) freshman,” Read said. He gives us balance, in that he has the ability to go deep or short, with good results,” Read said.“He is a clutch player, and is at his best when it’s a highly competitive game, or very tough opponent. He’s a big player for us in big games, and demonstrated that several times dur­ ing his career. And of course he’s a great kickoff returner for us. He’s very, very quick, and he has extremely good hands.” His 880 receiving yards rank him 13th career-wise at UM. His 573 yards in 1990 rank him 12th in single-season receiv­ ing yards. He had school records of 33 kickoff returns for 709 yards in 1990. He had a career-high 9 catches in a road loss at Nevada, and a career-high 254 all-purpose yards in that game. He was a star athlete at St. Louis High in Honolulu, and was named that cities’ Athlete of the Year in 1987. He was twice all-state in football and baseball. His prep football coach was Calvin Lee, brother of former Grizzly offensive coordinator Tommy Lee, who is now with San Antonio in the World League. Business major.

BILL COCKHILL, 2V 5-9, 160, WR/PR 8Junior from Helena, Montana In just two seasons, Bill is already ranked among Montana’s career receiving leaders at 17th with 845 yards. He’ll start at the ‘Y” receiver position, and he has excellent speed, running a 4.42 in the 40 this past spring. Last season he had 46 catches for 536 yards, which ranked him 13th in the Big Sky, with 4.2 catches a game. He has been one of the top punt returners in I-AA the past two seasons, ranking in the top 25 in 1990 and 1991. In 1991 he was 5th in the league in punt returns, averaging 10.1 yards an attempt, while he was ranked 13th in the nation as a freshman, averaging 10.6 yards per return. Bill was one of three players voted “Outstanding Sophomore” last year, along with guard Frank Garrett and defensive tackle Chuck Mason. Montana’s Freshman of the Year in 1990, that season Cockhill led the team in average yards per catch at 16.9, and was second on the team with 6 TD receptions. “Billy Cockhill is extremely explosive after he catches the football,” said head coach Don Read. “He’s as good as any­ body we’ve had around once he catches the ball, making a regular play into a big play. “One of the things we didn’t do last year was get the ball to him often enough,” Read said. “We need to do that more. He’s one of our veterans now, and can play any of our wide receiver positions. He’s a versatile, highly competitive kid, with a lot of confidence in himself, he really wants to win, and that’s his sole mission in every game.” As a junior at Helena Capital High he led the “AA” ranks in scoring with 74 points, and was second as a senior with 78 points. He was All-State as a senior, and played in the Montana Shrine Game. He set a Montana prep record with 426 all-purpose yards against C.M. Russell High in 1988 for coach Bill Tuss.

He was the third leading tackier on the defensive line last season with 28 tackles, and also forced a fumble and had a fumble recovery. This past season he was one of three Montana players to be voted the recipient of the Pat Norwood Award, given to the teams’ Most Inspirational Player. For the second season in-a-row he is Montana’s fifth leading returning tackier. Two seasons ago, he had 31 tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble. “Sam has been under-rated in our program,” said Griz head coach Don Read. “He’s played on-and-off in our rotation, and every time he’s been in a game he’s done good things for us and his film rating has been excellent. “He has the potential, because of his physical stature, to be a real solid player inside for us, both against the run and pass,” Read said. “He has good height, so he is a factor in the quarterback’s vision, and he has the strength, so that he’s a factor in controlling the line of scrimmage at his position. He’s also a team guy, hard-working, a very steady player, and one of the most popular players on our team.” Davidson was first team All-King County at defensive end and second team All-County at tight end. At Mercer Island High School he was voted his teams’ Most Inspirational Player in football and basketball as a senior, and was team captain in both sports. He also lettered in track. His high school football coach was Dick Nicole. Business major.

SEAN DORRIS, 3V 6-3, 212 STRONG SAFETY 9Senior from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho A .n extremely versatile player, Sean has played both safety positions, along with cornerback since he was called into action as a “true” freshman three seasons ago. He is Montana’s third leading returning tackier. Last year he had 91 tackles, five of which were for losses, and two inter­ ceptions. He was named second team All-Big Sky Conference last year, as well as Montana’s “Outstanding Junior.” In 1990, he was second on the team in tackles with 83 stops and he had a team-leading (tie) three interceptions, and was named the Grizzlies’ “Outstanding Sophomore.” He has started 22 straight games, including all 11 last year. He had a career-high 15 tackles in last year’s double overtime loss to Nevada. During his career he has had 12 or more tackles in seven games, including Louisiana Tech, Idaho State and Nevada last year. “Sean Dorris is one of the most outstanding safeties in the nation at any level,” said Griz head mentor Don Read. “He has every single ingredient, physically and mentally that are important in today’s football. He’s tall, he can run; he’s a 4.5 in the 40 type of a guy, he can jump (35-inch vertical), and he has great instincts. “He is also very intelligent, plays the run very well, and can play man-to-man, or any kind of coverage, with the best of them. Sean Dorris is as good a strong safety as I’ve been around,” Read said. A three-time all-conference defensive back at Coeur d’ Alene High School, Sean was All-State as a junior and senior, and his conference’s Defensive Player of the Year in 1988. He also lettered in basketball and track. His prep grid coach was Larry Schwenke, father of last year’s conference volleyball MVP, Ann Schwenke, from UM. An Elementary Education major, he was an All-Big Sky academic team selection the past two seasons, maintaining a 3.04 GPA.

STACY EDWARDS, IV 5-10, 175, CORNERBACK 24 Senior from Pasco, Washington A n excellent coverage player and hard hitter, Stacy started in one game last year and played in all 11. He had 15 tackles, a forced fumble, and 4 pass deflections. He ran UM’s fastest 40 in the spring at 4.35, and had the best (tie) vertical jump at 37 inches. A two-year letterman from Walla Walla City College, Edwards was an All- Region selection as a sophomore for coach Mike Lewis. He was also captain of the team that season. At Walla Walla his teams were ranked 18th in the nation his freshman year, and won the league championship. His second season the Warriors were ranked 7th in the country and were Sun Bowl champions. In 1990 his Walla Walla team was ranked second in the nation in defense in the junior college ranks, allowing just 124 yards a game. “Stacy is one of the better corners we’ve had in our program,” said UM head coach Don Read; “particularly with respect to one- on-one coverage. He is an excellent pass defender and we can play a lot of man defense with him if we want to. “He’s also a great kid, he’s a team guy, and is very popular with his fellow players, and he’s a big-play guy. It seems like when you need a big play, Stacy is there. So, when you add it all up, Stacy’s a complete player, and were excited about his potential to help us this year.” Edwards lettered in football, basketball and track at Pasco High School for coach Eric Kelly. He was an all-conference running back, rushing for 1,000 yards as a senior, and averaged 25 yards per catch. He was team captain and MVP as a senior. Communications major.

He had an excellent spring, and will start again at right guard. He was a key to the Grizzlies’ passing attack which was ranked 4th in the nation, as Montana averaged 329.5 yards a game through the air, and was named Montana’s “Outstanding Sophomore” along with fellow Honors Candidates Chuck Mason and Bill Cockhill. He was moved from defensive tackle to offensive guard his redshirt season in 1990. “Frank is about as steady of a player as we’ve had in our program,” said Montana head coach Don Read. “He does things right, and he does them consistently. He’s a very, very intelligent player, and a great asset to have up front. He works very well with the guys who line up next to him, in terms of communication, passing on information, and helping them every way possible, on the practice field and during games. “He’s a guy who is highly, highly competitive,” Read said. “He was quite a wrestler in high school, and just hates to lose individually, or team-wise. He is going to provide leadership on the offensive front, and we are excited about him going into the season.” He earned 9 letters at Big Sky High School, including three each in football, wrestling and track. He was his school’s Male Athlete of the Year as a senior. He was first team All-State on defense and second team All-State on offense, as well a first team all-conference both ways. He was also team captain his final year, and played for former Grizzly player Bob Eustance. He was third in the State in wrestling (heavyweight) as a senior, and also placed in the State track meet in the discus. History major. CHAD LEMBKE 6-0, 220, INSIDE LINEBACKER 46 Senior from Butte, Montana r \ n encore year from Chad would be a big plus for the Grizzlies, as he was picked first team All-Big Sky Conference, and led Montana in tackles. He started all 11 games, registering 121 tackles, 46 of which were unassisted. He also had 2 sacks, a team-leading 6 tackles for losses, a forced fumble, a tackle for a safety, and an interception (vs. Montana State). Last season he had 10 or more tackles in 8 games. In 1991 he had a career-high 16 tackles against Weber State, had 15 stops against Nevada, and 14 against Boise State and Northern Arizona. In ‘91 he was voted the co-recipient of the Best Linebacker Award, sharing it with fellow Butte native Paul LeProwse. He can bench press 225 pounds 24 times and runs a 4.70 in the 40. He was named the Big Sky Cenex Land O’Lakes Player of the Week twice last season, following the Boise State and Montana State games. Last season he was a finalist for Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year honors. As a sophomore he had 41 tackles, as well as 2 sacks and 3 tackles for losses. He is also a key member of UM’s special teams. “In the history of the University of Montana there’s been some great linebackers,” said UM head coach Don Read; “and we’ve had a few of them in our time here, but I don’t think we’ve had a more complete linebacker than Chad Lembke. He plays very well against the pass and run, making him a very complete player. “But, his greatest assets are not only playing against run or pass, but he has those characteristics that all of the great linebackers have. It’s that fierce, fierce desire to be where the ball is, and get his hat on the football, and make every tackle. He has that—those great instincts. “He also is a leader,” Read continued. “Though he is relatively young in age (21), having played as a true freshman, he’s a veteran in terms of number of plays for us, is highly respected by his teammates, and has a lot to do with how they perform. He’s a morale guy, he’s an attitude guy, a positive player, and a force to reckon with.” He was an All-State, all-conference player for coach Jon McElroy at Butte High School. He was a 1988 Shrine Game participant. Business major. Year G-S UT AT TT SACKS TL/YDS. FF FR PD INT.

O CHUCK MASON, 2V X 6-5, 270, DEFENSIVE TACKLE ^ Junior from Bigfork, Montana O ig things were expected from Chuck when he joined the Montana football program, and he has lived up to those expectations. Last year he played in all 11 games, starting in one. He had 17 tackles, three of which were for losses, and a pass deflection. Chuck blocked two kicks last year, and the final one was a game-winner, as he batted down a PAT attempt against Idaho, giving the Grizzlies a 35-34 overtime victory. His freshman year he was moved from tight end to defense, and has steadily improved his technique, strength, and weight. Because of his versatility he could play several positions. “With his added weight, his almost 6-6 frame, and the speed he has, if he lacked other things, which he does not, he still would be a force to reckon with,” said Montana head coach Don Read. “He will be as good as any defensive linemen in the Big Sky Conference this year, because he is extremely good technique-wise, and the tenacity that is so important for a defensive lineman,” Read said. “He wants to get to the quar­ terback, and make big plays. He has the quickness for a big guy, that allows him to do that. We see him doing a real good job for us in terms of penetration. “Chuck is always around the quarterback or around the ball,” Read said. “He’s also a very strong guy in our kicking game, whether it be blocking or covering — he’s hungry all the time. He has a lot of desire and he makes a lot of big plays ” He was the Montana Gatorade Player of the Year as a senior at Bigfork High School for coach Don Faris. He was also Scholastic Coach Magazine Montana Player of the Year. Chuck was all-conference in football, basketball and track. He was named first team All-State at tight end and defensive end.
