JAMES MADISON DUKES NEWS

Ayo Adeyi - Plans to redshirt Adeyi (lower body) plans to redshirt James Madison's 2024 season, JMU Sports News reports.

Impact Currently, Adeyi is looking to re-enroll at James Madison for the team's 2025 season. However, he can play two games and maintain his redshirt for JMU's 2024 campaign. It looks like the last two games are still possible for him to play, but JMU's next three are matchups he is expected to sit out.

Ayo Adeyi - Remains off depth chart Adeyi (lower body) still isn't listed on James Madison's depth chart, per JMU Sports News.

Impact Adeyi hasn't played since Week 2, and it seems increasingly unlikely that he'll make his return to the field this week against Georgia Southern. The tailback still has no timetable for a return to action, which should once again leave Tyler Purdy and George Pettaway to handle most of the work in the Dukes' backfield.

Taylor Thompson - Pair of long catches Thompson posted two receptions (on three targets) for 58 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 39-7 win against Coastal Carolina.

Impact Thompson reeled in his third touchdown of the campaign, linking up with Alonza Barnett for a 25-yard score. Through six games, Thompson has caught 19 of 28 targets for 290 yards.

George Pettaway - Nears 100 yards from scrimmage Pettaway logged 13 rushes for 89 yards and gathered in 1 of 3 targets for nine yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 39-7 victory versus Coastal Carolina.

Impact Pettaway split carries with Tyler Purdy (eight rushes) and Wayne Knight (six rushes), but Pettaway was the clear lead option. He averaged 6.8 yards per carry and set a season high in rushing yards. Through six games, Pettaway has turned 64 rushes into 387 rushing yards while adding 10 catches for 109 yards. He has four total touchdowns.

Alonza Barnett III - Scores four times Barnett completed 16 of 28 passes for 199 yards and three touchdowns during Thursday's 39-7 victory over Coastal Carolina. He also had five rushes for 13 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Barnett tallied at least four touchdowns for the third time in four games, but he finished with his fewest yards from scrimmage since Week 2. The redshirt sophomore has accumulated 20 touchdowns in six games and has thrown just one interception. He ranks third in the Sun Belt in passing yards and has the most rushing yards of any quarterback in the conference.

Ayo Adeyi - Not listed on Week 7 depth chart Adeyi (lower body) is not listed on the depth chart for the Week 7 matchup against Coastal Carolina on Thursday, according to JMU Sports News.

Impact The absence of Adeyi from another depth chart should be at least concerning, and right now, the running back doesn't have a timetable for his return to action. If he doesn't feature Thursday, then Tyler Purdy and Jobi Malary would be in line to see more touches as potential backups to George Pettaway.

Omarion Dollison - Quiet on 10 targets Dollison totaled three receptions (on 10 targets) for 46 yards during Saturday's 21-19 loss to Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Dollison saw more than five targets for the first time all season, but he only reeled in three of the passes thrown his way. Still, the wideout was productive once again, and he's logged 10 catches for 219 yards and two scores over the last three weeks.

Ayo Adeyi - Injury revealed Adeyi has a lower-body injury, JMU Sports News reports.

Impact Previously undisclosed, Adeyi's lower-body injury caused him to sit out another game Saturday. Currently, JMU's next game is scheduled for this coming Saturday at Louisiana-Monroe.

George Pettaway - Effective on four rushes Pettaway compiled four carries for 35 yards and one touchdown and caught 1 of 2 targets for four yards during Saturday's 63-7 win versus Ball State.

Impact No JMU back handled more than six carries on the day despite the blowout victory. Pettaway was one of three tailbacks to log a carry in the first half, with Tyler Purdy and Wayne Knight mixing in. At this point, it's hard to trust any JMU running back considering the timeshare, though Pettaway is the closest thing the team has to a No. 1 back.
