Shelton Sampson Jr. - Scores in bowl loss Sampson totaled three receptions (on six targets) for 42 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 20-13 defeat against Delaware.

Impact Sampson found the end zone in the fourth quarter, connecting with quarterback Lunch Winfield on an eight-yard pass to bring the Ragin' Cajuns within a touchdown with under eight minutes left in the game. The 6-foot-4 receiver finished the season with 32 receptions for 537 yards and six touchdowns across 10 games. Barring an entry into the transfer portal, he should be back as a top option within the Louisiana passing attack next year.

Lunch Winfield - Iffy in bowl loss Winfield (undisclosed) was 21-for-36 passing for 231 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Wednesday's 20-13 defeat versus Delaware. He also had 14 rushes for 40 yards.

Impact Winfield totaled over 270 yards, but his efficiency again left something to be desired as he was below 60 percent completion and he threw his seventh interception of the season. The quarterback was a question mark to play, and he'll close out his redshirt sophomore season with a performance that was pretty indicative of how his whole year went. He was good on the ground, with 667 rushing yards and nine scores, but inconsistent through the air, tossing for 1,555 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 58.8 percent of his throws.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Zylan Perry - Minimal output in bowl game Perry compiled 10 carries for 25 yards and caught all three targets for 22 yards during Wednesday's 20-13 loss against Delaware.

Impact Despite a rough effort in the bowl game, Perry compiled a solid junior season, racking up 138 carries for 689 yards and a career-best eight rushing touchdowns. He also added career-highs with 16 grabs for 101 yards as a receiver. He'll enter the offseason with one more year of eligibility remaining and should operate alongside Bill Davis in the backfield again in 2026, assuming the pair opts to stick around.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Kyre Duplessis - Solid day in bowl win Duplessis gathered in 5 of 8 targets for 69 yards during Wednesday's 20-13 win against Louisiana.

Impact Though he failed to find the end zone against Louisiana, Duplessis finished as the team's second leading receiver in both yards and receptions on the day. The 5-foot-10 receiver finished the season with 60 receptions for 824 yards and five touchdowns, logging his best collegiate season. With no remaining eligibility, Duplessis has played his final collegiate game.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Wilson - Thrives in 68 Ventures Bowl Wilson recorded eight receptions (on 11 targets) for 81 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 20-13 win versus Louisiana.

Impact Wilson was Delaware's top receiver in the bowl game win, just as he has been all season. Even so, he scored just his third touchdown of the year as the Blue Hens toppled Louisiana, and finishes the 2025 campaign with 68 catches for 877 yards and the three scores. Wilson has two seasons of eligibility remaining, and would be a crucial piece for Delaware to retain.

Jo Silver - Surpasses 100 yards in win Silver totaled 14 carries for 116 yards and one touchdown and reeled in their only target for two yards during Wednesday's 20-13 win over Louisiana.

Impact Silver had just his second 100-yard rushing performance of the year in the Blue Hens' bowl game, but it came at a good time as Delaware outlasted Louisiana to move to 7-6 in its first ever FBS season. Silver had a career year as a senior, rushing for 652 yards and five scores on 5.5 yards per carry.

DECEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Minicucci - Quiet in bowl win Minicucci was 19-for-30 passing for 176 yards and one touchdown during Wednesday's 20-13 win versus Louisiana. He also had six rushes for four yards.

Impact Wednesday night was a big win for Delaware, its first ever bowl victory in its first ever FBS season. Its starting quarterback didn't need to do all that much, however, tossing for one touchdown and protecting the ball. His 5.9 yards per attempt was one of his lowest on the season, but again, the Blue Hens survived without stellar quarterback play. Minicucci has one more year of eligibility remaining, and could certainly garner some eyeballs in the transfer portal if he looks for a bigger pond.
