Hunter Najm News, Rumors, Updates - Bowling Green Falcons | FOX Sports

Three TDs in season finale Najm was 7-for-9 passing for 128 yards and three touchdowns during Tuesday's 45-14 win against Massachusetts.

Impact With Drew Pyne out for the Falcons' season finale, Najm got his third straight start. The redshirt freshman quarterback finished out the season very efficiently, with three touchdowns and 128 yards off just seven completions. With this being Pyne's final year of eligibility, Najm will have a good shot to be Bowling Green's starter next season.

While Najm completed all but four of his 15 passing attempts, he was only able to total 129 yards and log a 1:1 TD:INT. The 5-foot-11 redshirt freshman still has much to learn in the MAC Conference, but he could get another start if Pyne remains out after Bowling Green's bye week.

Fills in for injured Pyne Najm was 4-for-12 passing for 48 yards and one interception during Saturday's 28-3 defeat against Buffalo.

Impact Najm was the backup quarterback ahead of the eventual blowout, with position mates Lucian Anderson (undisclosed) and Baron May (undisclosed) both out with an injury. Najm was unfortunately very inefficient against the Bulls, so he likely won't be utilized again unless injuries keep his teammates out.

Gets in last drive during loss Najm was 2-for-4 passing for 30 yards during Saturday's 24-21 defeat versus Kent State.

Impact Najm was set to be the third-string quarterback in the conference matchup with the room riddled with injuries, though he actually played the final plays of the Falcons' last drive. Whether this was due to the team looking for a spark or Baron May getting banged up is unknown, but Najm's appearance could prime him for more playing time if Drew Pyne (ankle) and Lucian Anderson (undisclosed) remain sidelined.
