Drew Devillier - Joining Florida Atlantic Devillier will transfer to Florida Atlantic, the school announced.

Impact Devillier spent his first two seasons at Rice, and played sparingly in both 2024 and 2025. This past fall, he tossed for 123 yards and one touchdown on 10-of-21 passing, while rushing for 25 yards on nine carries. Now, with three years of eligibility remaining, he'll take his talents to South Florida, where he'll look to win the starting quarterback gig.

Jahmari Powell-Wonson - On to Florida Atlantic Powell-Wonson announced his commitment to Florida Atlantic on Saturday.

Impact After limited stats for Maryland, Powell-Wonson will transfer to a non-Power conference team for more opportunities. During the Terrapins' 2025 season, he logged 14 receiving yards.

RJ Garcia II - Latches on with FAU Garcia has signed with FAU, the team announced.

Impact Garcia caught 27 of 46 targets for 283 yards during 2025 with Bowling Green. He had previously spent time with Kansas State. He'll look to etch out a significant role with the Owls in 2026.

Caden Veltkamp - Returning to Florida Atlantic Veltkamp is returning to Florida Atlantic for 2026, according to his X account.

Impact Having redshirted 2022, Veltkamp has one year of collegiate eligibility remaining, and he will use its remainder with Florida Atlantic. Transferring from Western Kentucky to FAU did present some challenges for the quarterback, who set a career-high in interceptions with 17 in 2025. However, it is worth noting that Veltkamp threw more than 500 passes for the first time in his career, which also earned him career highs in completed passes (345) and passing yards (3,641). Perhaps with a season of American Conference football under his belt, Veltkamp can be much more reliable in 2026.

Asaad Waseem - Tallies 34 yards in loss to ECU Waseem compiled four receptions (on five targets) for 34 yards during Saturday's 42-3 defeat versus East Carolina.

Impact Waseem came back down to earth after combining for 23 receptions in the last two games, closing out his season with 699 receiving yards, good for third on the team. In his first real season of college football, the Colorado transfer also tallied five touchdowns and has a very bright future ahead of him.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Easton Messer - Cracks 1,000 yards against ECU Messer had 10 receptions (on 13 targets) for 86 yards during Saturday's 42-3 loss versus East Carolina.

Impact Despite the blowout loss, Messer surpassed the 1,000-yard mark, leading the Owls in yards and receptions as he has all season. The Western Kentucky transfer found a home at FAU, finishing his junior season with 1,052 yards, 104 receptions, and six touchdowns.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jayshon Platt - Only 39 yards in finale Platt caught two of four targets for 39 yards during Saturday's 42-3 loss versus East Carolina.

Impact Platt tied a season low with only two receptions in Saturday's game. After only 38 yards a year ago, the junior broke out for 720 this season to finish second on the team behind Easton Messer. Platt also tallied five touchdowns.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Caden Veltkamp - Interception struggles continue Veltkamp was 19 of 31 passing for 183 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 42-3 loss against East Carolina. He also had five rushes for -22 yards.

Impact Veltkamp had arguably his worst outing of the season this weekend, throwing for a season-low 183 yards. The junior finished the year with six picks in the last three games, and Saturday was only the second time all year he didn't throw a touchdown pass. Veltkamp totaled 3,648 passing yards, 24 touchdown passes, and 17 interceptions in his first season as an Owl.

Impact Shields-Dutton was considered questionable on the initial availability report, but it appears the sophomore back is giving it a go. The Owls won't make it to bowl eligibility in 2025 so this marks his last opportunity to add to his season totals.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Kirch - Available for Week 14 Kirch (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against East Carolina.

Impact Ideally for Kirch, he can safely log more than the five snaps that came from his Week 13 performance. The tight end's 2025 season features 14 receptions (on 21 targets) for 150 yards and three touchdowns.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

East Carolina vs. Florida Atlantic Prediction, Odds, Picks - November 29, 2025

Michael Kirch - Logs fewer than five snaps Kirch (undisclosed) logged four snaps during Saturday's 48-45 loss against UConn.

Impact A regular staple of Florida Atlantic's 2025 team for all of its other games, Kirch logging fewer than five snaps Saturday suggests he was limited then. The 2025 Owls' regular season will conclude Nov. 29 against East Carolina.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Asaad Waseem - Leads FAU with 12 receptions Waseem posted 12 receptions (on 13 targets) for 109 yards during Saturday's 48-45 loss against Connecticut.

Impact Following his 11 receptions a week ago, Waseem recorded 12 on Saturday to go along with his first 100-yard game of the season. The sophomore has been a steady weapon in the Owls' offense all year, but these last two weeks have been his most active.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dominique Henry - Sets career highs against UConn Henry totaled seven receptions (on eight targets) for 157 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-45 loss versus Connecticut.

Impact Henry had a breakout game this week, setting a career high in yards and receptions against UConn. The junior is starting to become much more involved in the offense late in the season, as his 78 yards on six receptions a week ago against Tulane were both season-highs prior to Saturday.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Easton Messer - Clears 100 yards once again Messer gathered in 11 of 13 targets for 119 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-45 loss against Connecticut.

Impact Messer surpassed 100 yards for the second time in as many weeks Saturday, and also found the end zone for a third straight game. The Louisville native was one of three Owl receivers with 100 yards, and he is 34 yards shy of 1,000 heading into the final week.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jayshon Platt - 74 yards on five catches in loss Platt logged five receptions (on seven targets) for 74 yards during Saturday's 48-45 loss against Connecticut.

Impact Platt snapped his three-game touchdown streak, but eclipsed 70 yards for the fourth time in the last six games. The junior also caught five balls for the third time in his last four outings.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kaden Shields-Dutton - Scores in second straight game Shields-Dutton had 14 rushes for 77 yards and one touchdown and gathered in three of five targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 48-45 defeat to Connecticut.

Impact Shields-Dutton scored his sixth rushing touchdown of the season this week and was just two yards shy of 100 all-purpose yards. The Orlando natives' 14 carries led the team and were one shy of his season-high.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Caden Veltkamp - Six yards shy of 500 in loss Veltkamp completed 42 of 55 passes for 494 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 48-45 defeat to Connecticut. He also had four rushes for 23 yards with two t...

Impact Veltkamp did everything he could in Saturday's loss, throwing for a career-high 494 yards and recording four total touchdowns. The Western Kentucky Transfer has 869 yards on 112 pass attempts in the last two games and has thrown multiple touchdowns in six of the last seven.
