What change is the Army football team making to their starting quarterback?

Army is switching their starting quarterback, with junior Cale Hellums regaining the starting role after Dewayne Coleman had started the last two games.

How has the Army Black Knights' season gone so far?

Army's season has been a rollercoaster, with two surprising early losses to FCS Tarelton State and Big 12 opponent Kansas State, followed by losses to North Texas and East Carolina, but they bounced back with a win over UAB last week.

What advantage does Cale Hellums' playing style give Army against the Charlotte 49ers?

Hellums is a better runner than Coleman, and with Charlotte having one of the worst run defenses in the FBS, allowing 208 rushing yards per game, Army's coaching staff likely believes Hellums' dual-threat ability gives them the best chance to win this weekend.

Army Quarterback Shakeup as Hellums Regains Starting Role

As the Army Black Knights prepare to take on the Charlotte 49ers this Saturday, they will be doing so with a different player under center. According to reports, the team is returning to junior Cale Hellums as their starting quarterback, replacing Dewayne Coleman who had started the last two games.

Army's season has been a rollercoaster ride so far. They opened the 2025 campaign with a shocking 30-27 loss to FCS Tarelton State, a team that was in Division II as recently as 2019. However, they followed that up with an almost equally surprising upset of Big 12 opponent Kansas State.

Losses to North Texas and East Carolina followed, but Army got back to their winning ways last week by beating UAB. Now, with Hellums back at the helm, the Black Knights will look to continue that momentum against a Charlotte team that has struggled mightily against the run this season.
