Leads team in opener Kaliakmanis completed 18 of 23 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 34-31 win versus Ohio. He also had five rushes for negative four yards.

Impact Kaliakmanis transferred from Minnesota last season and was very effective despite struggling in the team's bowl appearance. The senior fulfilled expectations and was mistake-free against Ohio alongside a talented crew of offensive pieces. Two non-conference games are on the horizon before the Big Ten schedule gets tough, and Kaliakmanis should continue to put together solid fantasy numbers in the upcoming contests.

Struggles in bowl game Kaliakmanis was 14-for-32 passing for 237 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Thursday's 44-41 loss to Kansas State. He also had 11 rushes for 18 yards.

Impact Kaliakmanis wasn't particularly impressive for the Knights in this one, but he finished out the season with career-best numbers, completing 53.9 percent of his 395 pass attempts for 2,696 yards and an 18:7 TD:INT ratio, adding 92 rushes for 251 yards and a trio of scores as a rusher. Kaliamani could have one season of eligibility remaining and would likely remains the expected starter in 2025 for the Scarlet Knights if he returns.

Plays easy role Week 14 Kaliakmanis completed 13 of 22 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-14 victory versus Michigan State. He also had five rushes for 17 yards.

Impact Kaliakmanis threw fewer than 30 passes for the first time since Week 5 versus Washington, as the Scarlet Knights pounded the ball behind bell-cow back Kyle Monangai's 32 carries. Rutgers finished with its most points since Week 2 against Akron, but three of the team's four touchdowns came on the ground in Week 14. Kaliakmanis threw his 17th passing touchdown of the season with a nine-yard hookup to wideout Ian Strong in the third quarter. The senior signal-caller finished his first regular season at Rutgers with career-highs in passing yards (2,459), rushing yards (233) and total touchdowns (20). The 7-5 Scarlet Knights will await to hear their bowl destination this coming postseason.

Scores four TDs in loss Kaliakmanis completed 18 of 36 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-31 defeat against Illinois. He also had 13 rushes for 84 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Kaliakmanis put together his best rushing performance of the season with highs in carries and yards. The 6-foot-3 senior also scored just his second and third rushing touchdowns of the season, as he had the rare honor of scoring two red-zone touchdowns rather than the team's bell-cow back Kyle Monangai. Kaliakmanis was thus responsible for all four of his team's touchdowns, and he did more than enough to win the game. But, the Scarlet Knights fell late due to an improbable, last-second 40-yard touchdown for the Fighting Illini. Kaliakmanis has now totaled eight touchdowns to two turnovers over the last four games, and he'll look to finish the season strong next week versus Michigan State.

Logs another strong outing Saturday Kaliakmanis was 20-for-30 passing for 238 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 31-17 victory over Maryland. He also had seven rushes for 26 yards.

Impact Kaliakmanis logged a season-high 66.7 completion percentage, and he's now totaled six passing touchdowns to one interception over the last three games. The senior signal-caller has also averaged 263.7 passing yards per game over this span. The Scarlet Knights offense had likely its best all-around outing with star running back Kyle Monangaiback in the lineup and scoring two touchdowns after missing the previous game with a head injury. Kaliakmanis will look to keep things rolling during next week's game versus Illinois.

Scores three times in revenge game Kaliakmanis was 17-for-33 passing for 240 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 26-19 win over Minnesota.

Impact Kaliakmanis had perhaps his best performance of the season considering the opposing defense. The Minnesota transfer logged three scores for the first time since the Week 2 win against Akron, which also doubled his number of passing touchdowns in conference play. He also did so while playing while the Scarlet Knight's top offensive player and bell-cow running back Kyle Monangai (head) was sidelined. Kaliakmanis has not been asked to do much more than be a game manager when Rutgers' offense has been on track, but he's now averaged 280.0 passing yards per game over the last three games. He'll look to keep it up during next week's road game at Maryland.
