Missouri State Bears News

Dillon Hipp - Finds end zone Hipp had three catches for 18 yards and a score Saturday versus SMU.

Impact Given that prior to this game the tight end had four catches for 20 yards on the season, this was likely a bit of a fluke, especially since backup QB Henry Belin threw him the touchdown pass.

Isaiah Myers - Catches TD Myers caught five passes for 46 yards and a score versus SMU on Saturday.

Impact Myers had big games against Lindenwood and Marshall, but given that he had zero catches against Texas A&M, it was reasonable to wonder what he would do in this game. Having picked up five receptions and a score against SMU, Myers definitely seems locked into a big role for the Bears heading into conference play.

Breezy Dubar - Breaks off big run Dubar ran seven times for 76 yards against SMU on Saturday.

Impact A lot of this damage was done on a single 49-yard run, but otherwise the Boise State transfer was only slightly better than Ramone Green, who still got more touches in this game.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Henry Belin IV - Throws TD, INT Belin went 7-for-15 for 69 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against SMU on Saturday.

Impact Belin saw his first real action this season as Skyler Locklear was sacked six times due to a mismatch between pass rush and pass protection in this one. Indeed, Belin himself took a sack for a loss of 10 yards, and also didn't play terribly well. Locklear, presuming good health, shouldn't be worried about his job for now.

Makai Cope - Reception at SMU Cope (undisclosed) logged a 15-yard reception during Saturday's 34-24 loss at SMU.

Impact For 2026, Cope's latest reception marks his first. The wide receiver finished last season with 20 catches for 269 yards. Reaching both tallies will be difficult, but not impossible, for Cope.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Skyler Locklear - Throws TD against SMU Locklear went 15-for-19 for 102 yards and a touchdown against SMU on Saturday.

Impact Henry Belin did get time under center as well, owing less to Locklear's day throwing the ball and more to the fact he was sacked six times. Right now there isn't a strong reason to think Locklear is losing his grip on the job heading into conference play.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Breezy Dubar - Perfectly fine in Week 4 Dubar (lower body) logged seven carries for 76 yards and reeled in 1 of 2 targets for three yards during Saturday's 34-24 loss at SMU.

Impact Even though Dubar tied his season-low in carries on Saturday, he performed admirably. With receiving yards added, the running back updated his season-high in all-purpose yardage. This season, Dubar has 218 total yards, his highest tally since 2023, when he was enrolled at Boise State.

Jmariyae Robinson - Out vs. SMU Robinson (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at SMU, per Ryan W. Collingwood of the Springfield Daily Citizen.

Impact Robinson won't be an option in the passing attack Saturday as he deals with an undisclosed issue. Mekhi Miller and Brendon McQueen should see an increase in targets. The wideout will look to recover in time for the team's next matchup against Western Kentucky next Thursday.

Kevin Jennings stands out at No. 22 SMU after Missouri State was 1st D1 offer for the dynamic QB

Kevin Jennings has gone from a largely overlooked high school quarterback five years ago to the centerpiece of a Heisman Trophy campaign as a senior with No. 22 SMU

5 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Witt Edwards - Catches TD Edwards caught one pass for a 38-yard touchdown Saturday against Marshall.

Impact This was Edwards's first catch of the season, much less first touchdown, so this was probably more of a one-off performance and less something that should be expected to continue in future weeks.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Makai Cope - Sits out again Cope (undisclosed) didn't play in Saturday's 30-24 defeat to Marshall.

Impact Cope's status was questionable heading into Saturday, and he ultimately didn't take the field for Missouri State. The wideout has now missed two straight games after appearing in the season opener, where he was targeted once. He will continue to recover and aim to return against SMU next Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Yousef Obeid - Returns with one field goal Obeid (groin) converted one of two field goals and went three of three on extra points during Saturday's 30-24 defeat to Marshall.

Impact Obeid returned from a groin injury that kept him out in Week 2 and reclaimed his starting kicking job. He went perfect on extra points but missed a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter after it was blocked by a Marshall player.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Jmariyae Robinson - Has 39 yards receiving Robinson caught three passes for 39 yards and ran twice for 13 yards versus Marshall on Saturday.

Impact The proof that transfer Isaiah Myers is now the top receiver came in this game for Missouri State. Once again Myers was over 140 yards and got more targets and receptions than Robinson, who has fallen into a secondary role after being the top guy in 2025.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Jeron Askren - Catches TD Askren caught three passes for 40 yards and a score versus Marshall on Saturday.

Impact While the tight end played in the first two games of the campaign, he did not register a reception. Though Askren did catch five touchdowns last year, it is worth noting that was on only 19 receptions.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah Myers - Another big game Myers caught seven passes for 141 yards against Marshall on Saturday.

Impact Myers did nothing against Texas A&M in the opener, but it now seems clear that was about the opponent and the situation. In the two games since, the WKU transfer has 12 catches for 296 yards and a touchdown.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Ramone Green Jr. - Over 100 total yards Green ran 15 times for 76 yards and caught two passes for 28 yards Saturday against Marshall.

Impact While these numbers aren't as impressive as what he did against Lindenwood, Green had no issue getting over 100 yards against a proper FBS opponent, and that's a good sign. He was actually a bigger factor in the pass game than the run game in 2025, so expect more on that front as the year continues.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Skyler Locklear - Best game with Bears Locklear went 19-for-28 for 309 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Marshall on Saturday. He also ran eight times for 53 yards.

Impact The former UTEP QB definitely had his best game with Missouri State, and possibly the best game of his college career. While definitely an encouraging outing, next up is a trip to SMU, so temper expectations before Missouri State hits conference play.

Del Rio-Wilson, Marshall defense makes late save to blunt Missouri St. rally in 30-24 win

Carlos Del Rio-Wilson accounted for 249 yards and two touchdowns and Marshall held off Missouri State for a 30-24 win

SEPTEMBER 20 • Associated Press

Breezy Dubar - Helped off the field vs. Marshall Dubar (lower body) was helped off the field during Missouri State's clash with Marshall in Week 3, per Ryan W. Collingwood of the Springfield Daily Citizen.

Impact Dubar was reportedly unable to put any weight on his foot and/or leg, and appeared to be in a lot of pain. The tailback had recorded eight carries for 36 yards and one touchdown, with one catch for five yards, before hobbling off the field.

SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Yousef Obeid - Considered questionable for Saturday Obeid (groin) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Marshall, Liam Keating of The Springfield News-Leader reports.

Impact Obeid missed last week's contest due to a groin injury, with punter Stewart McDonald taking over kicking duties for the day. McDonald could be called upon again versus Marshall with head coach Casey Williams still considering Obeid questionable. Obeid did not attempt a field goal or PAT in his one appearance this season.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Makai Cope - Questionable to face Marshall Cope (undisclosed) is questionable to face Marshall in Week 3, per Ryan W. Collingwood of the Springfield Daily Citizen.

Impact Cope played in the opener against Texas A&M and failed to reel in his one target before sitting out the Week 2 win over Lindenwood. Now, the receiver is in danger of missing two straight games as he continues to deal with an undisclosed injury. Isaiah Myers was the team's leading receiver last week.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jmariyae Robinson - Turning into possession WR? Robinson caught five passes for 40 yards against Lindenwood on Saturday.

Impact On the one hand, Robinson had nine catches through two games. On the other hand, though nine catches have gone for 54 yards. Clearly he has a role in this offense, but he may be a possession receiver who doesn't wow with his numbers.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Isaiah Myers - Tallies two TDs Myers had five catches for 155 yards and a touchdown versus Lindenwood on Saturday. He also ran for a 24-yard score.

Impact A Western Kentucky transfer, Myers didn't have a touch in Missouri State's opener. That was against Texas A&M, though, not an easy game to integrate yourself into the offense. This, clearly, is a much better sign.
