Joey Hobert - Quiet finish to career Hobert had four receptions (on five targets) for 19 yards during Friday's 30-28 bowl victory versus North Texas.
Impact Hobert didn't have his biggest effort to cap off his college career, but he still finished out the year with solid numbers, compiling 70 catches for 680 yards and eight touchdowns over 12 games, marking his third straight season (second at Texas State) surpassing 70 grabs. He'll now set his sites toward the next level, though Hobert isn't viewed as much of a pro prospect.

Jaden Williams - Erupts in bowl win Williams logged eight receptions (on 10 targets) for 155 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 30-28 win against North Texas.
Impact Williams had the best game of his senior season against North Texas. He was highly efficient, reeling in 80 percent of his targets, and the Mean Green had no answer for him all afternoon. Williams had a breakout season overall in 2024, posting 57 catches for 807 yards and seven touchdowns.

Lincoln Pare - Explodes vs. Mean Green Pare notched 21 carries for 143 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in all four targets for 32 yards during Friday's 30-28 win over North Texas.
Impact Pare had his biggest game of the season in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. After being limited to a rotational role in Texas State's backfield, he got the chance to be a workhorse in the final two games of the year and didn't disappoint, totaling 239 yards and three touchdowns. He'll look to secure a starting role in the Bobcats' backfield next fall.

Jordan McCloud - Tops 300 passing yards in bowl game McCloud was 26-for-35 passing for 307 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Friday's 30-28 win against North Texas. He also had seven rushes for two yards.
Impact McCloud only managed to toss one touchdown pass on the night while turning the ball over twice (one interception and one fumble), but he was still efficient through the air (74.3 completion percentage, 8.8 yards per attempt) en route to a bowl game victory. The senior's career comes to a close having thrown for 3,222 yards and a 30:13 TD:INT ratio in 2024, adding 74 carries for 278 yards and seven touchdowns as a rusher. He'll likely try his hand at the next level, but he's not viewed as a major NFL prospect.

Landon Sides - First touchdown in bowl loss Sides reeled in 5 of 7 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 30-28 loss to Texas State.
Impact Sides turned in his best performance of the season in Friday's First Responder Bowl, highlighted by a 16-yard touchdown grab in the opening seconds of the second quarter, his first score this year. Sides will finish his sophomore campaign with 24 receptions for 280 yards. He figures to have a more prominent role in the North Texas offense in 2025.
