Tayven Jackson - Near perfect in blowout win Jackson completed 16 of 18 passes for 270 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-14 victory over Houston Christian.

Impact Jackson was two incompletions away from a perfect passing game, generating a highly efficient outing in the blowout victory. The signal-caller connected with TJ Chukwurah for a 14-yard score, bringing his season total to six passing touchdowns. Following the touchdown pass, his day was done as backup Chaston Ditta came in to relieve him. He will likely see more action against Tulsa this Saturday in the team's first conference matchup of the season.

Brendon Haygood - Downgraded to doubtful Haygood (undisclosed) is described as doubtful for North Texas' game at Tulsa, per Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle.

Impact The tailback was initially considered questionable moving forward after he sat out the Mean Green's win over Houston Christian, but now, he's considered unlikely to play at Tulsa in Week 5. If he does indeed sit out for a second straight week, expect Nick Osho and Colin Page to see more touches behind Jahiem White in North Texas' backfield.

Josiah Martin - Questionable for Week 5 Martin (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at Tulsa, Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle reports.

Impact Though there is not much that has changed about Martin's injury status, which was day-to-day last weekend, the fact that he has a better possibility of returning in Week 5 than Brendan Haygood (undisclosed) perhaps presents a legitimate opportunity for the wide receiver to not miss any time. He has been targeted multiple times in each of his last four games and would like to keep the ball rolling against a Tulsa team that may be down its starting quarterback, Baylor Hayes (knee).

Brendon Haygood - Questionable moving forward Haygood (undisclosed) did not play during Saturday's matchup against Houston Christian and is questionable moving forward, per Haylie Stum of the North Texas Daily.

Impact Haygood was held out of Saturday's contest due to an undisclosed injury and will be questionable moving forward. The 5-foot-10 running back has had a solid start to the season, running for 114 yards and two touchdowns on 3.9 YPC through the team's first two games. His next chance to return will come against Tulsa on Thursday.

Kyle Koch - Records first career touchdown Koch reeled in all five targets for 78 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-35 defeat to Texas State.

Impact Koch made noise in the receiving corps after failing to record a target over North Texas' first two contests. The wideout reeled in his first collegiate touchdown on a 13-yard catch in the second quarter. It was a pass-heavy day for the offense, though it remains to be seen if he will maintain consistent involvement moving forward following his breakout performance.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Corri Milliner - Logs first TD of 2026 Milliner gathered in 7 of 9 targets for 80 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-35 defeat against Texas State.

Impact Milliner continues to be a consistent pass catcher in North Texas' offense, hauling in his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard reception late in the second quarter. He was one of nine different players to record a catch in the contest. The transfer receiver is enjoying a productive start to his tenure with the Mean Green, cementing a steady role within a crowded receiving corps.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Stevenson - Tallies 122 receiving yards Stevenson hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 122 yards during Saturday's 49-35 defeat versus Texas State.

Impact Stevenson posted a breakout game after hauling in just four receptions for 90 yards over North Texas' first two games. He pulled in a team-high 12 targets and 10 receptions on a busy afternoon for the receiving corps. The wideout also recorded the first 100-yard game of his career, emerging as Tayven Jackson's primary target Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Brendon Haygood - Punches in rushing score Haygood had 11 carries for 50 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-35 loss to Texas State.

Impact Haygood surpassed double-digit carries for the second straight game, firmly establishing himself as the primary backup to Jahiem White in the backfield. The running back helped orchestrate a 93-yard scoring drive in the second quarter, punching in a two-yard touchdown.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jahiem White - Registers a score in two ways White recorded 16 rushes for 34 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 7 of 9 targets for 56 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-35 defeat to Texas State.

Impact White scored a pair of touchdowns for the second straight game, continuing to be a bright spot in the Mean Green's offense. The running back struggled to find success on the ground but still handled a heavy workload despite the team relying on the passing game for most of the game. He made an impact as a pass catcher as well, hauling in seven receptions to boost his overall production. White has established himself as a workhorse to begin the season and should continue seeing heavy involvement as conference play approaches.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Tayven Jackson - Delivers three passing touchdowns Jackson completed 43 of 57 passes for 483 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 49-35 loss against Texas State.

Impact North Texas resorted to relying on Jackson and the passing attack throughout the contest against Texas State as he attempted a staggering 57 passes. He set a career high in passing yards and touchdowns, adding to his strong season numbers. However, the lead signal-caller and the offense went quiet in the second half, scoring only seven points on an 18-yard touchdown pass to Jahiem White. He once again spread the ball evenly, connecting with nine different pass catchers to highlight the depth of the passing game.

Jahiem White - Effective rushing and receiving White totaled 12 rushes for 124 yards and one touchdown and caught 2 of 3 targets for 34 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-6 win over UNLV.

Impact White made his presence known Saturday by scoring a rushing and receiving touchdown. The running back torched UNLV's defense, rushing for 124 yards on only 12 attempts while finding the end zone for the second straight game. His workload was limited late in the game due to the blowout, with Brendon Haygood relieving him in the third quarter. White looks comfortable in the Mean Green offense and should remain the focal point heading into Week 3 against Texas State.

On paper, it seemed like it could be a tough matchup for the quarterback, but he fared well by putting together one of his best games as a starting quarterback in his career. He distributed the ball evenly, finding eight different pass catchers while no individual target hauled in more than three receptions. Jackson will look to continue his momentum against Texas State in Week 3.

Corri Milliner - Paces North Texas receivers in loss Milliner reeled in four of five targets for 66 yards during Saturday's 52-16 loss versus Indiana.

Impact Milliner emerged as a reliable target for starting quarterback Tayven Jackson, totaling a team-high five targets and four receptions. The wideout also led the team with 66 receiving yards, highlighted by a 36-yard catch on the opening offensive possession of the third quarter. Milliner looks poised to anchor the receiving corps next Saturday against UNLV, provided the passing attack can find its rhythm.

Jahiem White - Accounts for only touchdown White logged 14 carries for 61 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 7 of 8 targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 52-16 loss versus Indiana.

Impact White battled a knee injury that he sustained in the 2025 campaign throughout fall camp before recovering in time to account for the Mean Green's only touchdown of the game. The running back led the team with 14 carries, positioning himself to lead the backfield after being a starter at West Virginia in prior seasons. His involvement as a pass catcher is equally notable, as he hauled in a team-high seven receptions. It was a difficult season opener for North Texas, and the offense will face another test against UNLV next Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Tayven Jackson - Throws a pick in loss Jackson completed 22 of 28 passes for 192 yards and one interception during Saturday's 52-16 loss against Indiana. He also had six rushes for 22 yards.

Impact Jackson couldn't get past a Hoosiers' secondary that eventually intercepted him late in the fourth quarter, leaving his final total under 200 passing yards. The UCF transfer didn't have an ideal debut with the Mean Green, though facing the reigning national champions would test any quarterback. His starting role should remain intact next Saturday against UNLV, where he will aim to bounce back.
