Records carry Brumfield (undisclosed) logged one carry for 13 yards during Saturday's 31-27 win versus Air Force.

Impact Brumfield logged his first rush since Week 3, also the last time he was able to throw passes in a game. During September, he completed 56.1 percent of his 41 passes for 201 yards and a 0:2 TD:INT ratio before an undisclosed problem kept him out a while. Now, the question is if Brumfield can re-take his starting role over Jaiden Maiava, which seems unlikely.

Gets co-starter tag for opener Brumfield is listed as a co-starter for Saturday's season opener against Idaho State, Alex Wright of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

Impact UNLV's quarterback battle will carry into the season with Brumfield and Tennessee transfer Harrison Bailey listed as co-starters. Brumfield threw for 320 yards and added another 109 yards on the ground with four total touchdowns in a three-game sample last season. He completed just 43.6 percent of his passes, however, and will need to be more efficient to stay in the mix for playing time. Given that UNLV is hosting an FCS opponent, it would not be surprising to see Brumfield and Bailey have a fairly even playing time split Saturday.

Impact Brumfield saw a minimal role in UNLV's season opener against Eastern Washington, as he completed 5 of 12 attempts for 117 yards and he also threw an interception. The sophomore also recorded one rushing touchdown in the opener. Brumfield is now in line to have plenty of opportunities against an Arizona State team that is coming off a blowout win.

Set to share starting role Brumfield is listed as UNLV's starting quarterback, along with Justin Rogers.

Impact Brumfield is in line for a bigger role this upcoming season after only playing in two games last season. Although he's not the only quarterback listed number one on the depth chart, Brumfield will still have the chance to take over the entire starting role. Expect transfer quarterback Tate Martell (hand) to join back in the mix of the quarterback battle once he's healthy again.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sharing first-team reps Brumfield is sharing first-team reps under center with Justin Rogers in the early portions of camp, Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Brumfield saw minimal action last year but is in contention to land UNLV's starting gig to open 2021 along with Rogers at the moment. Another candidate in transfer Tate Martell could enter the race once he's cleared to practice following hand surgery during the summer, so it's possible this race won't be completed until close to when the season opens
