ETHAN VASKO NEWS

Entering portal Vasko is entering the transfer portal, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Vasko helped Coastal Carolina's team earn bowl eligibility by logging three passing touchdowns and a rushing TD when the team won at Georgia State in Week 14. Considering that Noah Kim also decided to enter the transfer portal, the Chanticleers' quarterback room is relatively thin going into their bowl game. Meanwhile, with two years of collegiate eligibility remaining, Vasko will focus on where he will spend throwing and running with the ball next season.

Impact Vasko was benched at the start of the fourth quarter after leading the Chanticleers to just six points in eight drives. Noah Kim was equally bad in Vasko's place, resulting in Vasko getting reinserted for CCU's final drive. Vasko threw an interception on the possession. Regardless of who's under center against Georgia State in Week 14, Coastal Carolina should quarterbacks should be avoided in fantasy.

Splitting reps in practice Vasko is splitting reps with Noah Kim in practice as Coastal Carolina is unsure about a starter for Saturday, Julia Kennedy of WBTW News 13 reports.

Impact Vasko hasn't played since Week 8, when he was benched after the first quarter of the Chanticleers' game against Louisiana after completing 3 of 10 passes. Kim, meanwhile, was solid in relief of the starter, throwing for 182 yards and two touchdowns while completing 64 percent of his passes. Coastal Carolina appears unsure who it wants to start this week quite yet, and both gunslingers could reportedly play.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Benched after first quarter Vasko completed 3 of 10 passes for 10 yards during Saturday's 34-24 defeat versus Louisiana.

Impact Vasko started Saturday's game but was replaced by Noah Kim to start the second quarter after all three of Vasko's drives resulted in a punt. Kim finished the game 16-for-25 for 182 yards and two touchdowns, which could be a good enough performance to warrant a permanent QB change. Coastal Carolina has a bye in Week 9, and it's unclear if Vasko or Kim will be under center against Troy in Week 10.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles against JMu Vasko completed 5 of 18 passes for 84 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Thursday's 39-7 defeat to James Madison. He also had four rushes for 38 yards.

Impact Vasko went 4-for-5 for 82 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter but completed just one of his final 13 attempts with a pair of interceptions. He was replaced by Noah Kim late in the third quarter, though it's unclear if the change was due to bad play or the lopsided score. Regardless, Kim didn't do anything spectacular and Vasko had been solid until now, so a quarterback change doesn't appear imminent.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Excels as passer Vasko completed 19 of 26 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-37 victory against Old Dominion. He also had seven rushes for six yards.

Impact Vasko surpassed 300 passing yards for the first time in his career, completing 73.1 percent of his attempts and averaging 14.1 yards per attempt.

Impact Though Vasko completed less than half of his pass attempts and threw an interception, he accounted for two of the Chanticleers' three touchdowns and paced the team in rushing yards. The dual-threat quarterback is 45-for-84 (53.6 percent) with 734 yards and a 4:2 TD:INT through the air while adding 214 yards and two touchdowns on the ground through four games.

Runs for 92 yards Vasko completed 15 of 21 passes for 103 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-20 victory versus Temple. He also had 16 rushes for 92 yards.

Impact Vasko finished with his lowest passing output of the season Saturday despite setting a season high in completions. However, his 92 rush yards made up for the lackluster throwing performance. Vasko hasn't attempted more than 23 passes in a game in 2024 and he's logged just 512 yards through the air to pair with his 190 rushing yards.

Impact Even though the Chanticleers put up 40 points, Vasko failed to find the endzone Saturday. He completed just 34.7 percent of his passes but did add 59 yards on the ground. Vasko's Week 2 performance was a letdown after posting 289 all-purpose yards with three total touchdowns in the season opener.

Impact Vasko beat out Michigan State transfer Noah Kim to be the Chanticleers' Week 1 starter and showed Thursday why he's worthy of the role. Vasko dropped back to throw just 19 times but averaged 20.8 yards per completion. In addition to his pair of 30-yard touchdown passes, the redshirt sophomore flashed his rushing upside, tallying 39 yards and a score. Vasko averaged 71.5 rushing yards per game across his five starts in 2023. It's also worth noting that Vasko didn't split work with Kim, but Kim entered the game for a pair of garbage-time drives.

Still, the quarterback battle with Noah Kim appears to have carried over into the regular season. It's unclear which signal-caller will lead the way this fall quite yet.

Shines as dual threat QB Vasko completed 21 of 29 passes for 254 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 56-14 defeat against James Madison. He also had nine rushes for 45 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Though Vasko was held under 185 passing yards for a second straight game, he logged his first career game with multiple passing touchdowns. However, he regressed in the run game, finishing Saturday's tilt with just 21 yards after dumping 170 yards on Old Dominion in Week 10. Expect Vasko to remain the starter against Army on Saturday if Grayson McCall (head) and Jarrett Guest (undisclosed) can't go.

Impact While Vasko underwhelmed from the pocket Saturday, he was dominant on the ground. He led the Chanticleers in rushing yards by a wide margin, tucking it 21 times for 170 yards and scoring on a 75-yard scamper. The redshirt freshman was thrust into a starting role with each of Grayson McCall (head) and Jarrett Guest (undisclosed) sidelined. While the CCU quarterbacking job belongs to McCall whenever he gets healthy, Saturday's performance could be enough for Vasko to leapfrog Guest for backup duties.
