Holden Willis - Ends season with big game Willis caught six passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns against FIU on Saturday.
Impact The tight end finished off the season with his best game of the campaign. That has left him with 53 catches for 871 yards and six touchdowns on the year, big numbers for his position.

Jekail Middlebrook - Rushes for TD Middlebrook rushed 10 times for 41 yards and had four catches for 32 yards against FIU on Saturday.
Impact With a new head coach in Derek Mason for 2024, there were questions about how guys who stuck around would be used. By the end of the year, Middlebrook, a redshirt freshman, seemed to be the primary back, and also a weapon in the passing game. He had at least four receptions in three of his last four outings.

Nicholas Vattiato - Throws two TDs, INT Vattiato went 21-for-33 for 256 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He also ran seven times for 28 yards.
Impact Remarkably, Vattiato finishes with 3,092 passing yards exactly for the second season in a row. Of course, his completion percentage dropped and he went from 23 touchdown passes to 16. Also, his rushing numbers decreased. One imagines Derek Mason might want to find his own starting quarterback for 2025 after inheriting Vattiato in 2024.

Dean Patterson - Catches two TDs Patterson caught four passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns against MTSU on Saturday.
Impact Patterson finishes the season with 50 catches for 687 yards and seven touchdowns as the number-two receiver behind Eric Rivers. If Rivers uses his big year to mix it up in the transfer portal, Patterson could be in line to have a bigger year in 2025...if he doesn't transfer himself.

Eric Rivers - Will he return after huge year? Rivers caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown against MTSU on Saturday.
Impact With this game, Rivers finishes the season with 62 catches for 1,172 yards and 12 touchdowns. If he returns to FIU he'll be in line for big numbers, but one wonders if he will look to make the jump to a larger program for his redshirt senior season.
