Jmariyae Robinson - Logs 96 receiving yards Robinson logged four receptions for 96 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 34-28 loss to Arkansas State.
Impact For 2025, 96 is Robinson's season-best tally in receiving yards. The second half of his season was strong, with six touchdowns in as many games. Robinson has been consistent, with both his 2024 and 2025 seasons including around 600 receiving yards and seven total touchdowns.
DECEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Ramone Green Jr. - Finds end zone in loss Green accrued six carries for 22 yards during Thursday's 34-28 loss against Arkansas State. He also reeled in three receptions for 25 yards and a touchdown.
Impact Green played a complementary role in the offense, contributing both on the ground and through the air. His 15-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter was part of Missouri State's late rally and highlighted his versatility out of the backfield. While touches were limited, Green remained a situational weapon in scoring opportunities. He closes out the season with 52 carries for 278 yards and one touchdown while catching 29 receptions for 446 yards and three scores across 13 games.
DECEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Dash Luke - Season-best game during bowl Luke logged zero targets during Thursday's 34-28 defeat against Arkansas State.
Impact To cap off his collegiate career, Luke logged season highs in receiving yards (169) to go with his first multi-touchdown game. 2025 was a career year for the wide receiver, who played a pivotal role in helping Missouri State's football program acclimate to FBS football, with 43 receptions for 640 yards and five touchdowns in his name.
DECEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Shomari Lawrence - Limited production in loss Lawrence logged 16 rushes for 57 yards during Thursday's 34-28 loss against Arkansas State.
Impact Lawrence led the Bears in rushing attempts but faced a tough defensive front that limited his efficiency on the ground. Despite the modest yardage total, he remained involved as a receiver and provided steady early-down production. Game script shifted Missouri State toward a pass-heavy approach in the second half, capping Lawrence's overall workload. He finished the season with 199 carries for 1,021 yards and seven touchdowns while reeling in 19 receptions for 118 yards across 13 games.
DECEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Clark - Tosses four scores in loss Clark completed 25 of 35 passes for 349 yards and four touchdowns during Thursday's 34-28 loss to Arkansas State. He also had 14 rushes for -24 yards.
Impact Clark turned in an efficient, high-volume performance while orchestrating a late comeback attempt, accounting for all four of the Bears' touchdowns through the air. He consistently pushed the ball downfield and connected on multiple explosive plays, highlighted by two long scoring strikes to Dash Luke. While Missouri State ultimately came up short, Clark's command of the offense and clean stat line reinforced his role as the clear centerpiece of the passing attack. He ends the year completing 247 of 376 passes for 3,244 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

Louisiana Tech and Missouri State combine for 34 points in 4th, Bulldogs come out on top 42-30

Quarterback Trey Kukuk leads Louisiana Tech to a 42-30 victory over Missouri State in a Conference USA regular-season finale
NOVEMBER 29 • Associated Press
Jmariyae Robinson - Reels in TD Robinson caught three passes for 66 yards and a touchdown against La Tech on Saturday.
Impact Robinson really came on down the stretch, with 27 catches and five touchdowns over his last five games. He may or may not be playing in a bowl, but Robinson is a junior so he should be back next season.
NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Jeron Askren - Catches long TD Askren caught one pass for a 75-yard touchdown against La Tech on Saturday.
Impact Well, the redshirt freshman tight end certainly knows how to get his bang for his buck. He had 17 catches this season and scored five touchdowns. Askren might go bowling, but it depends on logistics as Missouri State is a first-year FBS program.
NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Shomari Lawrence - Rushes for TD Lawrence ran 13 times for 84 yards and a touchdown against La Tech on Saturday.
Impact Missouri State is a first-year FBS team, so even though it is 7-5 it will play in a bowl only if a spot needs to be filled. Lawrence is probably really hoping for that. He's 36 yards short of his first 1,000-yard season, and he started his college career as an FCS player.
NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Clark - Throws two TDs, INT Clark went 17-for-31 for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against La Tech on Saturday.
Impact At 7-5, the Bears will be able to play in a bowl if a spot is available, as it was an FCS team last season. Clark came up with the program, and while he was a little loosey-goosey at times, he ended up with 24 passing touchdowns against 11 picks in 11 games. While Clark is a senior, he should have COVID-related eligibility left if he opts to use it.

NOVEMBER 26 • Associated Press
James BlackStrain - Moderate showing in loss BlackStrain (undisclosed) gathered in 2 of 3 targets for 40 yards during Saturday's 41-34 loss against Kennesaw State.
Impact BlackStrain was previously listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to an undisclosed injury, but he was able to suit up against Kennesaw State. The 6-foot-2 receiver had a decent day against the Owls, catching two passes for 40 yards on the day. He will hope for a good performance in Missouri State's regular season finale against Louisiana Tech on Saturday.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Jmariyae Robinson - Finds end zone Robinson caught four passes for 32 yards and a touchdown against KSU on Saturday.
Impact This is a step down in terms of yardage and receptions for Robinson compared to the prior three games, but he did find the end zone again. Even though he missed a game he's going to end up with the 40ish catches for 500ish yards he had the last two seasons with Missouri State, but that was when it was an FCS program.
NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Tristian Gardner - Two catches, two TDs Gardner caught two passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns versus KSU on Saturday.
Impact The true freshman Garner has really impressed as of late. He has a three-game touchdown streak going into the regular-season finale for the Bears.
NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Dash Luke - Pops back up on the radar Luke caught five passes for 73 yards versus KSU on Saturday.
Impact When the season starters, Luke emerged as the lead receiver for the Bears. However, in the five games before this he totaled seven catches for 64 yards. That means in this one game Luke bested his numbers over his prior five efforts.
