LAS VEGAS - Nevada's Marcus Bellon was named to the Preseason All-Mountain West Team at punt returner, the conference announced at the start of 2025 Old Trapper Mountain West Football Media Days Wednesday.

The Preseason All-Mountain West Team is voted upon by members of the media covering conference teams from each of the team markets.

For Bellon, it continues an offseason of recognition. Already in the past month the Truckee native has earned multiple preseason all-conference nods, being named to Athlon Sports' First Team as a punt returner and Second Team as wide receiver, and to Phil Steele's Second Team at both positions.

Bellon had a big debut season for Nevada in 2024, demonstrating his versatility by finishing third on the team in receptions (39) and receiving yards (522), and tying for second in touchdown catches (four) while rushing for 37 yards on nine carries. He also completed 1-of-2 passes, with the completion going for 44 yards and a touchdown at Boise State.

A 2022 All-C-USA Honorable Mention on special teams who averaged nearly six yards per punt return and took one for a touchdown while with UTEP, Bellon was already avoided by opponents in his debut Wolf Pack season, averaging 8.2 yards over just nine return opportunities with a long of 32.

Nevada opens the 2025 campaign Saturday, Aug. 30 at 12:30 p.m. PT at Penn State, on CBS. The Pack returns to Reno to host its first two contests at Mackay Stadium on back-to-back Saturdays, taking on Sacramento State Sept. 6 and Middle Tennessee Sept. 13, both at 2 p.m.
