Adrian Norton - Comes up with nothing vs. Toledo Norton caught 0 of 2 targets for zero yards during Tuesday's 21-14 overtime win over Toledo.

Impact Norton's zero catches come as a big surprise, as he has brought in at least two catches in every game of the season since Week 1 versus Ohio State. The sophomore wide receiver did still finish out the year as the WR1, amassing 43 grabs for 832 yards and seven touchdowns. He should continue to be a huge part of the Zips' passing game next year for his junior season.

Ahmarian Granger - 106 yards vs. Rockets Granger caught 2 of 5 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 21-14 overtime victory versus Toledo.

Impact After dropping two straight goose eggs for the Zips, Granger had a big day against the Rockets. The junior pass catcher has been mostly a volatile deep threat option in the passing game for Akron this year, but he saw the positive side of this in the final game of the year. He brought in 17 catches for 308 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

Charles Kellom - Grabs receiving score in win Kellom accrued 21 rushes for 69 yards and caught 3 of 4 targets for 33 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 21-14 overtime win over Toledo.

Impact With Jordan Simmons out against the Rockets, Kellon saw an elevated role as the Zips' lead rusher. Kellom had a season-high 21 carries and also grabbed the 25-yard OT receiving touchdown for Akron to win the game. Although Simmons is a junior and Kellom is a sophomore, the duo could work in tandem next year or Kellom could at least see an elevated role.

Tahj Bullock - Sneaks score in win Bullock was 2-for-2 passing for 27 yards during Tuesday's 21-14 overtime win versus Toledo. He also had eight rushes for 22 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Bullock came in again as a rush artist, sneaking in a touchdown during the opening of the fourth quarter. The junior closed out the season with eight rushing touchdowns and although he wasn't utilized much as a passer, that could be in the cards for him next year.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Finley - Two touchdowns in OT win Finley completed 10 of 21 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns during Tuesday's 21-14 overtime win against Toledo.

Impact Finley logged another game with a completion percentage under 50, but he still did throw two touchdowns with one being for the win in overtime. The win over the Rockets was the final game of the season for Finley, and he ended the season with 2,581 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. This stat-line was pretty efficient this year, and it should keep him at least in the running for the starting quarterback spot for his senior season next year.

Alex Adams - Missing regular-season finale Adams (lower body) is out for Tuesday's game against Toledo.

Impact Adams didn't play a single game in the 2024 season. He'll look to recover and get ready for spring football in the early months of 2025.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jordon Simmons - Won't play against Rockets Simmons (undisclosed) isn't available for the Zips against Toledo.

Impact Simmons is coming off a big performance of 113 yards, but he won't be available on Tuesday night. The Zips' top tailback will likely be replaced by Charles Kellom against Toledo.
