Ruled out for season Reynolds (undisclosed) has been ruled out for the entire 2026 season, per the MAC availability report.

He was absent from the Week 1 depth chart, but this level of an injury was not expected. Braylon Isom, Lynel Billups-Williams and Damarion Witten could see an increase in their respective roles following this news.

Boise State Returned A Championship Roster. Can The Group of Six Still Compete?

Listed as starting RB Nelson is listed as the starting running back ahead of Week 1 against Pittsburgh, per Miami's depth chart.

Impact Nelson evidently had a productive camp and is listed as the primary option in the backfield for the Redhawks. He's coming off a stellar season at Monmouth after recording 1,802 yards and 18 touchdowns on 293 carries. He will look to have that same workload for Miami this season.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as starting tight end Ross is listed as a starter for Miami (OH) ahead of Week 1, per the team's depth chart.

Impact Ross appears set for a bigger role with the Redhawks' offense after spending last season at Memphis. The tight end with the Tigers last season hauled in 18 receptions for 174 yards and one touchdown. He will look to become a reliable target for starting quarterback David McComb.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Week 1 depth chart Reynolds (undisclosed) isn't listed on Miami's Week 1 depth chart ahead of the 2026 season.

Impact It's unclear why Reynolds isn't included; he's the school's only returning starter at wide receiver. The 5-9, 181-pound pass-catcher reeled in 36 catches for 352 yards and a score last fall for the RedHawks, but now his status for Week 1 at Pittsburgh is in question.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers season-ending injury Gotkowski (undisclosed) suffered a non-contact injury during training camp and is out for the 2026 season, according to Steve Helwick of By The Belt.

Impact This injury occurred before the RedHawks named their QB1, so it ultimately thrust Kansas transfer David McComb into the role. The details of Gostkowski's injury remain unknown, but it is serious enough to keep him sidelined until the 2027 campaign.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Loses three-horse race Gotkowski will not be Miami (OH)'s starting quarterback to begin the 2026 season, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Gotkowski, Caleb Heavner and David McComb spent the summer in a three-quarterback competition to determine Miami (OH)'s primary option under center to begin the season. The team ultimately chose McComb, a former Kansas player who recently transferred to the MAC. In order for Gotkowski to surpass his 2025 production, which saw him log 690 all-purpose yards and five total touchdowns, he will have to wait for McComb to falter; and even then, Heavner would maintain steady competition against the Miami (OH) mainstay.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Named starting QB McComb will be Miami (OH)'s starting quarterback, per Pete Nakos of On3.com.

Impact McComb beat out both Thomas Gotkowski and Caleb Heavner for the starting role for the Redhawks. McComb's dual-threat ability gave him the edge over Gotkowski, primarily a pocket passer and not known for his legs. His experience at the Division I level with Kansas gave him the advantage over Heavner, a transfer from Division II school Fort Hays. Miami (OH) will begin its season at Pittsburgh on Sept. 5.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

New team, new QB race McComb is competing against Thomas Gotkowski and Caleb Heavner to be Miami (OH)'s starting quarterback, according to Cooper Meneghetti of The Miami Student via the G5 Hive podcast.

Impact McComb opted to stay in the FBS despite entering the transfer portal, transferring from Kansas to Miami (OH). Compared to Gotkowski and Heavner, the ex-Kansas quarterback has not only trained under a Power Conference program but also a running preference. McComb would have to rely on both his speed and athleticism to win out.

JUNE 10 • ROTOWIRE

In three-horse race for QB1 Gotkowski is competing against David McComb and Caleb Heavner to be Miami (OH)'s starting quarterback, according to Cooper Meneghetti of The Miami Student via the G5 Hive podcast.

Impact Though mobile, Gotkowski is a pocket passer who mostly relies on his arm. Compared to both McComb and Heavner, Gotkowski also has the experience advantage, having completed 38 passes for 575 yards and four touchdowns during Miami (OH)'s 2025 season.

JUNE 10 • ROTOWIRE

Part of Miami-OH roster Ross is part of Miami (OH)'s 2026 roster.

Impact Ross being part of Miami (OH)'s roster indicates that he transferred there from Memphis. For the 2025 Tigers, his stats feature 174 receiving yards and a touchdown. At tight end, Ross has more than enough potential to be Miami (OH)'s top option.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Joining WarHawks Yacamelli has joined Miami (OH) ahead of the 2026 season, Bill Beckner of Trib Live reports.

Impact Yacamelli will make the move to the MAC after spending the last four seasons with Wisconsin. The 6-foot redshirt senior back tallied 107 carries for 571 yards and two touchdowns during his time with the Badgers, adding on 10 receptions for 84 yards through the air. Yacamelli will look to compete for a feature role with the WarHawks next fall.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Transfers to Miami (OH) Hyatt has committed to Miami (OH), 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Hyatt caught seven passes for 109 yards in 2024 with Arizona before suffering a gruesome leg injury. He was healthy enough to play in 2025, but he failed to secure a significant role. He caught one of two targets for 10 yards. He'll look to etch out a larger role at his new school.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Unimpressive during bowl Gotkowski completed 6 of 22 passes for 72 yards and one interception during Saturday's 18-3 defeat to Fresno State. He also had nine rushes for 16 yards.

Impact Given a starting role at the tail-end of Miami (OH)'s 2025 season, Gotkowski briefly stepped up during conference action, but his last two games leave questions about what his 2026 role will be. In back-to-back games, he logged under 100 yards and zero touchdowns, not fulfilling the minimum expectations of what a promising QB1. During 2025, Gotkowski logged 690 all-purpose yards (575 passing and 115 rushing) and five touchdowns, all but one of them rushing.

Fresno State vs. Miami (OH) Prediction, Odds, Picks - December 27, 2025

Plans to enter portal Perry plans to enter the NCAA's transfer portal, Hayes Fawcett of On3 reports.

Impact Miami (OH)'s team is bowl-eligible, and Perry is one of the 2025 Redhawks' best wideouts, so him not playing Dec. 27's Arizona Bowl is not only a possibility but an important deal. On the other hand, if Perry's focus is not on professional football, it makes sense that he tests his value. Not only is Perry a junior, but he also broke out with more than 900 yards and five touchdowns' worth of offense.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Eclipses century mark in loss Perry logged seven receptions (on 11 targets) for 101 yards during Saturday's 23-13 loss against Western Michigan.

Impact Perry remained heavily involved for the RedHawks even as they lost to Western Michigan in the MAC title game. The receiver eclipsed 100 yards for the fourth time this fall, and after a breakout season in which he reeled in 42 catches for 966 yards and six touchdowns, he'll now need to evaluate his future in regards to the transfer portal or perhaps one more season with Miami.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores, otherwise quiet Brunson recorded 14 rushes for 59 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 23-13 defeat versus Western Michigan.

Impact Brunson hit pay dirt for the second straight week, but was again held under 60 yards rushing. Though Western Michigan made life tough for the RedHawks' offense, the tailback still managed to score to salvage his day from a fantasy perspective. The senior must now decide if he's going to suit up for Miami's bowl game against Fresno State on Dec. 27.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited action in title game Gotkowski was 7-for-17 passing for 92 yards during Saturday's 23-13 defeat against Western Michigan.

Impact Gotkowski was limited in Miami's title game loss to Western Michigan, as Henry Hesson saw most of the action at quarterback. In just his fourth appearance of the season, he struggled as the Broncos largely shut down Miami's offense. Gotkowski will now look ahead to the RedHawks' bowl game, where it'll likely be either him or Hesson under center once again.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in MAC title game Hesson was 7-for-20 passing for 107 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 23-13 loss against Western Michigan. He also had five rushes for -25 yards.

Impact Hesson completed just 35 percent of his passes as the RedHawks limped to a loss at the hands of Western Michigan for the MAC title. The gunslinger had played sparingly prior to his start in the championship game, and his uneven play continued. Hesson protected the ball through the air, but lost a fumble and couldn't orchestrate the offense effectively. It remains to be seen if Hesson or Thomas Gotkowski will start in Miami's bowl game against Fresno State.
