We take a look at the Top 10 must-watch FCS players in Week 0, including Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott
The 2024 FCS football season begins this weekend as five FCS programs will headline the Week 0 slate.
Montana State and Delaware State will travel to face FBS opponents, while Tarleton State hosts McNeese State in an intriguing FCS out-of-conference matchup. Florida A&M and Norfolk State will meet in the 18th annual MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Atlanta. North Alabama will face SEMO in the FCS Kickoff game in Montgomery, Alabama.Ty McCullouch Montana State has huge expectations after a disappointing finish to the 2023 season.
Takairee Kenebrew is North Alabama’s career record holder for touchdown receptions and returns for one final season with the Lions. He led the Lions with 669 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. Kenebrew seems to always show up in the biggest moments, including 172 receiving yards and three touchdowns against Chattanooga last season. Expect head coach Brent Dearmon to scheme up some big plays for Kenebrew to get the Lions on the right track against SEMO in Week 0.
Montana State defensive end Brody Grebe will start his campaign for the Buck Buchanan Award this Saturday against New Mexico. The senior is a two-time All-American and has 18 career sacks with the Bobcats. Grebe is emerging as a potential NFL prospect, and he has the ability to dominate games by himself. Look for him to set his mark against a New Mexico team that has a lot of inexperience along the offensive line.
Clifton McDowell has dominated offseason headlines after leading Montana to its first FCS National Championship appearance since 2009. He transferred to Temple this spring but entered the portal again and signed with McNeese. McDowell is a true dual-threat quarterback who could take over the game with his legs or arm. He rushed for 753 yards and nine touchdowns while throwing for 2,026 yards, 13 touchdowns, and only four interceptions.
