Impact Unlike before Middle Tennessee State's game against Duke on Sept. 21, no Middlebrook update was publicized prior to the Blue Raiders playing their latest matchup.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jekail Middlebrook - No status update before DNP Middlebrook (undisclosed) did not play during Middle Tennessee State's 24-7 loss Saturday at Memphis.
Frank Peasant - DNP at Memphis Peasant (undisclosed) did not play during Middle Tennessee State's 24-7 loss Saturday at Memphis.
Impact Unlike before the Middle Tennessee State's game against Duke on Sept. 21, no one from MTSU Athletics publicized a Peasant update. He will be out until further notice.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Holden Willis - Catches five passes Willis caught five passes for 62 yards versus Memphis on Saturday.
Impact Willis remains heavily involved for a modern tight end (in part because his actual role in the offense does not reflect a traditional tight end in any fashion). He has 21 catches for 321 yards through five games, and has only been held under 60 yards once.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Omari Kelly - Tallies 174 yards Kelly caught six passes for 174 yards against Memphis on Saturday, but lost a fumble.
Impact Two games ago, Kelly had nine catches for 239 yards and three scores. Last week, he was held to 12 yards on four catches. It has been a roller coaster of a season for the Auburn transfer. He's clearly the top receiver, but this not a robust offense by any means. Maybe a string of conference games in the consensus worst conference in the FBS will bear fruit.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Terry Wilkins - Rushes for TD Wilkins ran five times for 17 yards and had four catches for 15 yards versus Memphis on Saturday.
Impact Wilkins' workload dropped a week after fumbling twice, but MTSU only has so many options. Frank Peasant (undisclosed) feels as likely to not return at all as to return soon, and Jaiden Credle is a lackluster back as well. This offense is really struggling.
SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nicholas Vattiato - Complete non-factor in loss Vattiato went 21-for-31 for 283 yards and lost a fumble against Memphis on Saturday.
Impact After accumulating minus-27 yards rushing, Vattiato now finds himself in the red on that front. He has more turnovers than touchdowns. He has more games with zero touchdowns than multiple touchdowns. Vattiato was not a Derek Mason recruit. His time in the job may be limited.
