Shut down Saturday Whatley compiled two receptions (on five targets) for 16 yards during Saturday's 24-20 victory versus Kansas.

Impact Whatley was very quiet in Saturday's win, only catching two passes on five targets. He has just three catches over the last two games, a disappointing return for the senior. He'll look to bounce back Saturday at Cincinnati.

Scores twice in Saturday's win Whatley gathered in their only target for 34 yards and one touchdown and rushed two times for 12 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 52-17 win over Colorado.

Impact Whatley only had three touches in Saturday's win, but he took two of them for touchdowns. He ran for a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then caught a 34-yard touchdown a couple minutes later to take a 38-7 lead into halftime. Despite a season-low in touches, it ended up being one of his best performances of the season.

Seven catches Saturday Whatley reeled in 7 of 8 targets for 42 yards during Saturday's 31-28 defeat versus Houston.

Impact Whatley caught a season-high seven passes in Saturday's loss, two more than his previous season best. He only gained 42 yards despite that, and he added 15 rushing yards to boost his production slightly. He has been targeted at least five times in six consecutive games, but he's only managed over 60 yards in one game this season. He's a decent option in point per reception formats, but his lack of consistent yardage limits his value.

Shut down Saturday Whatley totaled zero targets during Saturday's 33-27 overtime defeat to Brigham Young.

Impact Whatley had his worst performance of the season Saturday as he tied a season low with three catches and gained just 12 yards. It was a disappointing day for the Wildcats' senior, but he has gained 52 yards or fewer in five of six games this season so this performance was not totally surprising. He will look to bounce back Saturday at Houston.

Scores in Saturday's win Whatley caught 5 of 8 targets for 52 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-13 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Whatley scored his third touchdown of the season Saturday, a 21-yard reception in the third quarter. He also caught five passes for the third time in his last four games and put up his second-best efforts in receiving yards (52) and targets (eight).

Four catches Saturday Whatley reeled in all four targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 39-14 loss against Iowa State.

Impact Whatley had a fairly quiet outing Saturday as he only saw four targets, tied for the third most on the team and ranked fourth in receiving yards. Outside of his breakout performance in Week 2, Whatley's other three games have been subpar. He faces a much more favorable matchup Saturday versus Oklahoma State.

Five catches and interception Friday Whatley recorded five receptions (on 11 targets) for 31 yards during Friday's 23-17 victory against Kansas State.

Impact Whatley led the Wildcats in receptions and targets Friday, but he only gained 31 yards in what was a slow passing day for the whole team. He also took one pass attempt on a trick play and threw an interception which hurt his already slow fantasy performance. Despite that, his high volume of targets is a promising sign moving into the heart of conference play.

Excellent in Saturday's win Whatley caught all five targets for 168 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 48-3 win over Weber State.

Impact Whatley got Saturday's game off to a rocking start, catching two touchdown passes within the first eight minutes of the contest, receptions of 31 and 85 yards. Those catches were enough to give him a great performance, but he added an extra three catches for another 52 yards for good measure. The Chattanooga transfer had a more modest performance in Week 1 but was still involved, so there is hope that he can be one of Noah Fifita's favorite targets throughout the season.

Listed as starter Whatley is listed as a starter for the Wildcats' upcoming game Saturday against Hawaii, Justin Spears of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact The 2025 Wildcats' first depth chart suggests that they will take a chance on an FBS-inexperienced Whatley. Despite his lack of FBS pedigree, he seems to make up for it with FCS excellence. Chattanooga's last three seasons combined saw Whatley log more than 2,000 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.
