Jailen Butler - Plays against Middle Tennessee State Butler (undisclosed) logged 32 snaps during Saturday's 55-0 win against Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Butler wasn't involved in the passing attack Saturday, which comes as a surprise due to the nature of the blowout. The backup tight end was mostly utilized as a pass blocker, and that has seemingly been his role throughout the year, as he has recorded just two receptions for 29 yards across four games this season.

Jaylen Mason - Six snaps during blowout Mason (undisclosed) logged six snaps during Saturday's 55-0 win against Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Kansas dominating Middle Tennessee State allowed much of the Jayhawks' depth to be used. That includes Mason, who is projected to play behind Isaiah Marshall, Cole Ballard (shoulder) and Chase Jenkins.

Carson Bruhn - Highly used during Week 5 Bruhn (undisclosed) logged 78 snaps during Saturday's 55-0 win against Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Even though Bruhn was not targeted a single time Saturday, that can be attributed to an unfortunate set of circumstances for the tight end, as Kansas opted to give the ball to many of his teammates instead despite his many snaps against Middle Tennessee State. The tight end will look for his next yard and touchdown in future games, and if he logs both, they will become his updated career highs.

Martin Connington - Cashes in on offensive explosion Connington converted on 2-for-2 field-goal attempts and 7-for-7 point-after tries during Saturday's 55-0 win against Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Connington was one of the week's biggest kicker winners, knocking through both field goal attempts and all seven extra points. The Jayhawks crossed midfield almost at will and finished with 706 total yards, giving Connington a steady stream of scoring opportunities throughout the afternoon.

Bryson Hayes - Leads quiet receiving corps Hayes caught all three targets for 50 yards during Saturday's 55-0 victory over Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Hayes led Kansas with 50 receiving yards, thought the Jayhawks simply didn't need to throw much while rolling up 706 total yards and six rushing touchdowns. The yardage leader honors are nice, but the game script left the passing game as a complementary piece of the offense.

Nahzae Cox - Finds end zone against former team Cox reeled in 2 of 5 targets for 42 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 55-0 victory against Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Cox made the most of limited opportunities, catching a 34-yard touchdown from Isaiah Marshall against his former team in the third quarter. In a game with only one passing touchdown from Kansas, Cox was the receiver who turned his opportunity into the biggest play of the afternoon.

Cam Pickett - Contributes in blowout win Pickett compiled six receptions (on eight targets) for 49 yards during Saturday's 55-0 win against Middle Tennessee State.

Impact Pickett did return from an injury, and his outlook didn't change much despite the lopsided win, as Kansas relied on its rushing attack and spread targets around in the passing game. The Jayhawks were so dominant on the ground that evaluating individual receiver roles from this game alone is difficult.
