Former Idaho QB Chad Chalich now at Montana

As expected, former Idaho quarterback Chad Chalich has landed at Montana, where he has been admitted to the school, and plans to join the Grizzlies for spring practice, said his father, Mark Chalich.
Chalich will be a junior this fall, with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Chalich redshirted at Idaho in 2012, started seven games as a redshirt freshman the following season, and started one game this past season. In December, he was granted permission by Idaho to contact three FCS schools, including Montana, about transferring.
He talked to Grizzly assistant coach Ty Gregorak, the defensive coordinator and husband of former North Idaho College volleyball coach Kandice (Kelly) Gregorak, and was admitted to Montana shortly after Christmas.
In his Vandal career, Chalich passed for 1,615 yards and seven touchdowns, with five interceptions, and rushed for one TD.
Montana's starting quarterback this past season, Jordan Johnson, was a senior.
"He's been admitted, he's definitely got a good chance to play right away, and that's what he wants to do," Mark Chalich said.
Spring semester classes begin Jan. 26.
Other Griz quarterbacks on the roster or incoming include Brady Gustafson, a redshirt junior next season; redshirt sophomore Makena Simis from Capital High in Boise; and redshirt freshman Will Weyer, an incoming true freshman recruit from Sunset High of Beaverton, Ore.
Another former FBS quarterback, Eric Prater, a walk-on freshman at Hawaii this past season, has also reportedly transferred to Montana.
Mark Chalich said Chad has yet to meet the new Montana football coach, Bob Stitt, but "that coach likes the read option, and that's right up Chad's alley," Mark said.
