Kaidon Salter - Jumps into portal Salter will enter the transfer portal, he announced via his personal X account.

Impact Salter had a solid season for the Flames in 2024, tossing for 1,886 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 56.3 percent of his passes. He also ran for 114 yards and seven touchdowns. The dual-threat quarterback should have plenty of suitors in the portal, and Salter himself should have one year of eligibility remaining.

Austin Henderson - Doesn't play in Week 14 Henderson (leg) didn't play in Week 14 against Sam Houston.

Impact Henderson missed the final six games of the regular season. The tight end had just two grabs for 20 yards this fall. He'll look to pick up his involvement in Liberty's bowl game.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Bentley Hanshaw - DNP Friday Hanshaw (undisclosed) did not appear in Friday's 20-18 loss against Sam Houston State.

Impact Hanshaw missed the Flames' final two games of the 2024-25 season with an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-4 senior saw action in nine games this season, posting nine receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Elijah Canion - Catches TD Canion caught three passes for 20 yards and a touchdown Friday against Sam Houston.

Impact Ultimately, Canion didn't end up with a significant role, which also proved a problem with Auburn and Purdue. He has 25 catches for 354 yards through 11 games.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Billy Lucas - Rushes for 59 yards Lucas ran nine times for 59 yards versus Sam Houston on Friday.

Impact Though his carries this season were once again limited by the presence of Quinton Cooley, Lucas has averaged 5.5 yards per carry and he has gotten 120 totes of the proverbial rock. Presuming he plays in the bowl game, Lucas should be able to get over 700 yards on the season, especially if Cooley opts out.

NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Quinton Cooley - Held to 90 yards Cooley ran 19 times for 90 yards against Sam Houston on Friday.

Impact Given the fact Cooley came into this game averaging 6.3 yards per carry with 13 touchdowns in 10 games, relatively speaking he was kept in check. The Wake transfer won't get to play for the conference title this year, which leaves him, at most, a bowl game remaining to pad his stats (though said stats are impressive).
