Four digits, achieved.
Former Coupeville High School football star Mitch Pelroy zipped past the 1,000-yard mark for kick returns at the college level.
Taking back three kick-offs for 49 yards Saturday against Montana Tech, he pushed his career total to 1,011 yards in the five years he’s been at Montana Western.
Pelroy also chipped in on defense with three tackles and an assist from his spot in the secondary, but it wasn’t enough to save the Bulldogs, who fell 35-20.
Montana Western, ranked #22 among NAIA teams, is 3-3 overall, 2-3 in Frontier Conference play.
With five regular-season games left in his senior campaign, Pelroy has amassed 952 yards on kickoff returns and 59 on punt returns.
He has 56 tackles, 15 assists, two sacks and five tackles for loss in a 33-game career.
Montana Western returns to action next Saturday, Oct. 15, when the Bulldogs host the College of Idaho during Hall of Fame weekend in Dillon.
