Nahree Biggins - Academically ineligbile for bowl Biggins is academically ineligible to participate in the GameAbove Sports Bowl, Andrew E. Graham of Mitten Football reports.

Impact Biggins isn't listed on the availability report for the Chippewas, but it appears he's set to miss Friday's bowl game due to academic issues. The senior has only officially played three seasons, so it's not impossible he could file a waiver to play another year, but the academic situation would seemingly make it hard for him to land a spot at the college level again. Either way, he finishes out 12025 with 105 carries for 540 yards and two touchdowns as a runner, adding 19 catches for 185 yards and a touchdown as a receiver out of the backfield.

Tommy McIntosh - Warming up for bowl game McIntosh (undisclosed) is warming up for Friday's bowl game with Northwestern, Inside NU reports.

Impact McIntosh is going through warm-ups with the rest of Central Michigan's pass-catching unit, so it looks like the questionable tag he was given earlier may be a precautionary measure. Ideally, a clearer report would confirm his injury status, though that is unlikely with just over half an hour before kick-off.

Nahree Biggins - Available for GameAbove Sports Bowl Biggins (undisclosed) is available for Friday's bowl game with Northwestern.

Impact Biggins is not listed on Central Michigan's availability report for the GameAbove Sports Bowl, so it looks like CMU will use him against Northwestern. The running back's 2025 stats feature 725 all-purpose (540 rushing and 185 receiving) and three touchdowns, most of them logged on the ground.

Tommy McIntosh - Questionable for bowl game McIntosh (undisclosed) is questionable for Friday's bowl game with Northwestern.

Impact McIntosh has been one of Central Michigan's more reliable wideouts in 2025, so not having him available may prove costly for CMU. The wide receiver's 2025 stats feature at least 400 receiving yards and three touchdowns, marks he has never come close to replicating at any time before this year.

Angel Flores - Available for bowl game Flores (undisclosed) is available for Friday's bowl game with Northwestern.

Impact Despite serving as a backup for most of Central Michigan's 2025 season, Flores has successfully logged 10 touchdowns this year. With limited pass attempts, he still recorded a 2-0 TD-INT ratio. On the ground, Flores excelled with 103 rushing attempts for 519 yards and eight touchdowns.

Tommy McIntosh - Surpasses 80 yards in finale loss McIntosh gathered in 6 of 7 targets for 83 yards during Saturday's 21-3 defeat to Toledo.

Impact McIntosh bounced back from an eight-yard performance last week, and he surpassed 80 yards for the second time this season. The junior wide receiver wasn't utilized much this season, but that was mostly due to a run-heavy offense that the Chippewas executed most weeks. McIntosh will close out the 2025 campaign with 27 catches for 401 yards and three touchdowns, along with one year of eligibility remaining.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Joe Labas - High passing volume not enough Labas was 19-for-30 passing for 242 yards and one interception during Saturday's 21-3 loss against Toledo. He also had seven rushes for -30 yards.

Impact Labas recorded a season-high 30 passing attempts in the eventual loss to the Rockets, but he was unable to find the end zone even with 242 passing yards. The starting quarterback will now close out his 2025 regular season with 126 of 183 passes completed for 1,676 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. He'll now focus on getting the Chippewas a bowl-game win before his college eligibility runs out after this year.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jakivion Calip - Out for season Calip (undisclosed) will miss the remainder of the season.

Impact Calip will be sidelined for Saturday's matchup versus Toledo as well as Central Michigan's bowl game. He finished the campaign with 46 rushing yards on eight carries across three games played and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for next season.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Angel Flores - Unavailable for Week 14 Flores (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Toledo.

Impact Central Michigan's team is bowl-eligible, so Flores can log at least one more game before his junior season finishes. It features 10 touchdowns, eight rushing and two passing.
