Weber State football is a transition story worth tracking
Ogden still has one of Utah's most established FCS programs, and the 2025 season is the reason the current version of the page has to be a real story rather than a brochure. Weber State parted ways with head coach Mickey Mental on November 10, 2025 and named Brent Myers interim for the stretch run.
That is a program moment, and the page says so on the record.
What the current official source record shows
Jackson Gilkey arrived from UTSA and was named the Week 1 starter before the season. The official recap line is direct: five starts, a 42-41 road win at McNeese that included a 100-yard rushing night from a Wildcat quarterback for the first time since 2017, and a fractured left fibula at UC Davis that ended his year.
That combination of coaching-search news and a live QB story is exactly what a current Weber State page needs to hold together.
