Chase Jenkins - Sets career-high in loss Jenkins completed 12 of 21 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-13 loss against Navy. He also had 12 rushes for 33 yards.

Impact Despite the loss, Jenkins threw for over 100 yards for the first time in his career, completing a season-high 12 passes. The sophomore did not have much success running the ball, however, only recording 33 yards after having at least 70 in each of the last two games.

Eli Heidenreich - Tallies 44 yards in win Heidenreich notched six carries for 23 yards and reeled in 2 of 4 targets for 44 yards during Saturday's 21-13 win versus Rice.

Impact Heidenreich has now posted two receptions in each of the last three games after Saturday's game, and now has 12 on the season to lead the team. He struggled on the ground, averaging less than four yards per carry, but he has gotten at least six carries in every game.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Tecza - Surpasses 100 yards in win Tecza tallied 11 rushes for 104 yards and gathered in all three targets for 53 yards during Saturday's 21-13 win over Rice.

Impact Tecza was dominant on the ground this week, averaging over nine yards a carry, while also recording his best receiving game of the season. Coming into Saturday, he only had two receptions on the year and wasn't targeted at all last week, so it'll be interesting to see how they use him as a pass catcher next week.

Blake Horvath - Finds the end zone twice Horvath completed 8 of 13 passes for 172 yards and one interception during Saturday's 21-13 victory over Rice. He also had 21 rushes for 110 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact Horvath flashed his dual-threat ability once again this week, surpassing 100 yards on the ground for the second straight week. The senior also passed for a season-high 172 yards, but has also now thrown an interception in consecutive games, which could be concerning with how little Navy throws the ball.

Impact Walker has cleared the Owls' injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Midshipmen. The 5-foot-10 redshirt junior wideout, who caught 22 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown last season, has yet to appear in a game this year.
