11/02/22 - Zack Kuntz, rSr/2023, Old Dominion + More +

Ricky Rahne finally shared some personnel news Monday, and it wasn't good. The Old Dominion coach said tight end Zack Kuntz will miss the rest of the season with an undisclosed injury. Kuntz, a 6-foot-8, 251-pound NFL prospect who transferred from Penn State, hasn't played since leaving three plays into an Oct. 1 loss to Liberty with what appeared to be a right knee injury, though Rahne declined to confirm that. Rahne did say that Kuntz would have surgery "soon." "It won't be anything that's going to last very long or anything like that," Rahne said. "But he was trying to see how long he could go and see if he could rehab it and get back, and it just wasn't something that could happen." A native of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, Kuntz caught 12 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns in five games before the injury.

Last season as a sophomore, Kuntz led the Monarchs and was second in the country among tight ends with 73 receptions. With 692 receiving yards and five touchdowns, he was named first-team All-Conference USA. Rahne said he and his players had known for a while that Kuntz was out for the season. That didn't soften the blow for those closest to him. "Even outside of the facility, off the field, Zack's one of my guys," said junior offensive tackle Leroy Thomas. "So I know the news was definitely hard for him. We're going to be there for him and make sure his spirits are up. Anything he needs, he knows I'm there for him." - The Virginian Pilot

OCT 17 SUN BELT FOOTBALL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tre Hawkins, Old Dominion, (Sr., DB - Temple, Texas),...Monarchs senior defensive back Tre Hawkins posted a career-high 10 tackles as Old Dominion knocked off previously unbeaten Coastal Carolina, 49-21. The Temple, Texas, product made one of the biggest plays of the day, forcing and recovering a fumble on the Chanticleers opening drive of the second half. Old Dominion scored on the ensuing possession, opening up a 21-7 lead it would never relinquish. Hawkins is the second Monarch to be dubbed a Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week, joining Jason Henderson (Week 1). - Sun Belt Football

Zack Kuntz and R'Tarriun Johnson exchanged a knowing glance before the question was even finished, as if to wonder what took so long. What effect, the Old Dominion football players were asked, does being picked to finish dead last in the Sun Belt's East Division even have? Kuntz, a junior tight end, spoke first. "With the transfer portal and how things are different, it honestly makes an analyst's job harder and harder, because it's hard to see how if a kid were to transfer from one place to another, how their impact's going to be," he said. "If anything, it puts a larger chip on our shoulder, and we'll take that going into the season."

In the end, it was a classic answer to a tired but obligatory preseason question. The Monarchs this week were indeed picked to finish seventh in the new seven-team division despite last season's appearance in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. Appalachian State, a Sun Belt powerhouse, was picked to win the division, which Monarchs coach Ricky Rahne called "the toughest Group of Five division in college football." Even James Madison, which is making the jump from FCS to FBS this season, was picked a spot ahead of ODU. - The Virginian Pilot

If voters are accurate, the Sun Belt's first season as a 14-team football conference will be a difficult initiation for new member Old Dominion. The Monarchs, who rallied for five consecutive victories in Conference USA to qualify for the Myrtle Beach Bowl and finished 6-7 last season, were picked last among seven Sun Belt East Division teams in a poll released Monday. Head coaches and media were the voters.

The SBC's other new member from Virginia, James Madison, was chosen sixth in the division. The Dukes, who were Football Championship Subdivision semifinalists last season, are eagerly awaiting their first Football Bowl Subdivision season after being a powerhouse in the lower-level FCS since the middle of last decade. Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia State, new member Marshall and Georgia Southern were chosen first through fifth in the East. ASU's Mountaineers are expected to reach their fourth conference championship game in the event's five-year existence. - The Virginian Pilot

The end of the workweek marked the start of a new era for Old Dominion. Friday was the Monarchs' first day as official members of the Sun Belt Conference after leaving Conference USA a year early. ODU joins the Sun Belt in all sports the conference offers, including baseball, men's basketball, football, men's soccer, men's golf, men's tennis, women's basketball, women's golf, women's soccer, women's tennis and volleyball. James Madison, Southern Miss and Marshall also joined the Sun Belt on Friday, making the league a 14-member conference. The four schools join the 10 standing members: Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Louisiana, Louisiana Monroe, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy.

ODU will be in the Sun Belt East Division with Marshall, JMU, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern and Georgia State. The Sun Belt, ODU officials have said, is a more geographically palatable league than C-USA, which ranged as far west as El Paso, Texas. The Sun Belt offers ODU more bus trips and fewer flights, which will save the athletic department significant revenue. The Sun Belt's members are contained to 10 contiguous states. - The Virginian Pilot
