RM Marc Dunn Looking to Start at Kansas State, But Supports Rival

The BYU football team is almost as well known for quarterback controversies as it is for producing stand-out quarterbacks. Now, one of the quarterbacks that BYU didn't land is in the middle of a little quarterback controversy at another college. Marc Dunn, returned missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who served in Santiago, Chile, transferred to Kansas State University from Ricks College after completing his sophomore year and is presently battling last year's starter, Ell Roberson for playing time. As the projected starter entering spring drills, Roberson patiently endured a redshirt season in 1999 and a backup role last year, all in preparation for his chance to take the helm in 2001. Now, with Dunn on the scene, Roberson knows he has some serious competition for the coveted number one spot on the depth chart.

BYU's Pochman Making Case to NFL's Patriots

After a record-setting football career at Brigham Young University, Owen Pochman is trying to "kick-start" a career in the NFL. A four-year place-kicker for the Cougars, Pochman's BYU highlights include his record 135 PAT conversions, 66 field goals and 333 points scored over four seasons. Pochman, a soccer player who didn't play football until his senior year in high school in Mercer Island, Washington, had the luxury of learning the art of kicking from one of BYU's other top kickers. His older brother, Ethan, kicked for the Cougars in 1996 and set his own school record with 61 consecutive PATs. He also set single-season records with 123 total points and 21 made field goals.

RM Brinton Making Case for Michigan Starting QB Position

Quarterback competition seem to be all the rage these days. Interestingly enough, several returned missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are right smack dab in the middle of a number of them. Mormon News recently reported on former Ricks QB Mark Dunn, who is now battling for the starting spot at Kansas State and Brandon Doman who's the front-runner at BYU in a three-way race to be the starting quarterback for the Cougars. Now, it's time to re-introduce Spencer Brinton, who is running neck-and-neck in the race for starting quarterback at the University of Michigan.

The Brigham Young University-Hawaii women's volleyball team is ranked seventeenth in NCAA II in the preseason rankings released by the American Volleyball Coaches Association. It is the lowest ranking the Seasiders have had since entering the division in 1998.
