Parker Kingston - Reaches four-digit yards Kingston hauled in 5 of 8 targets for 76 yards during Saturday's 25-21 victory over Georgia Tech.

Impact Kingston's five receptions and four rushing attempts, the latter of which earned him 20 yards, ensure he will finish 2025 with four digits in all-purpose yardage.

Impact Roberts' collegiate career is finished, and his 2025 season will be the first and only campaign in which he logged more than five touchdowns. For a second straight season, he recorded 800-plus receiving yards and did so on 54 receptions, also a career-high. Roberts will shift his focus to the professional ranks after four years with BYU.

Carsen Ryan - Best zero-TD log of season Ryan notched eight receptions (on 11 targets) for 120 yards during Saturday's 25-21 win against Georgia Tech.

Prior to BYU's bowl win, none of his 2025 games included more than 10 targets, five receptions and 100 receiving yards, and he surpassed all tallies comfortably. During the year, Ryan logged 45 receptions (on 61 targets) for 620 yards and three touchdowns.

Bachmeier's relatively few passing touchdowns can be attributed to his running game. He also logged 147 rushing attempts for 527 yards and 11 touchdowns, reaching a total of 26 for 2025. Bachmeier has established himself as a top quarterback early going into 2026.
