Rayfield Lotten - Sees field vs. UTEP Lotten (undisclosed) logged eight snaps in Wednesday's 35-17 loss to UTEP.

Impact Lotten was iffy ahead of Week 8 with an unknown injury, but it appears he was utilized in a limited fashion in the loss. The 6-foot-6 tight end is likely still dealing with the injury at some capacity, but there's no reason to assume he won't be active after the Bearkats' bye week at Louisiana Tech on Oct. 31.

Elijah Green - Quiet in return Green (undisclosed) accrued five carries for six yards and reeled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Wednesday's 35-17 defeat against UTEP.

Impact Green made his return to action against UTEP after missing Sam Houston's previous two contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 5-foot-11 running back was held in check throughout the day, carrying the ball five times for just six yards while failing to catch his only target. His next chance will come when the Bearkats travel to face Louisiana Tech next Friday.

Malik Phillips - Catches TD Phillips caught two passes for 26 yards and a touchdown against UTEP on Wednesday.

Impact This is Phillips' first touchdown of the season. However, he was targeted six times in this game and ended up with 26 yards receiving. A lot of that is on the quarterback play for the Bearkats, which has been an issue.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alton McCaskill - Rushes for over 50 yards McCaskill ran 11 times for 52 yards and had two catches for 15 yards Wednesday versus UTEP.

Impact McCaskill competes with carries with Landan Brown (and Elijah Green on the occasions he is healthy enough). However, McCaskill is the one who, whenever healthy, has gotten double-digit carries in every game.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Coco Brown - Rushes for over 100 yards Brown ran 13 times for 110 yards and had six catches for 39 yards against UTEP on Wednesday. He also lost a fumble.

Impact Brown broke off a 63-yard run, which helped him get over 100 yards for the first time. This was his first fumble, so that seems fluky, but the receptions are not fluky. Brown has 29 catches on the season.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mabrey Mettauer - Throws touchdown in relief Mettauer went 4-for-8 for 38 yards and a touchdown against UTEP on Wednesday.

Impact Mettauer stepped in for an injured Hunter Watson, who left the game in the first game. Landyn Locke, a true freshman, also saw some time under center. The Bearkats have a bye week coming up, but if Watson isn't ready to return it will be interesting to see who gets the start. Mettauer probably has the edge.

Hunter Watson - Done for the day Watson (undisclosed) is out for the remainder of Wednesday's game versus UTEP, Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso reports.

Impact Watson was injured in the first half of Wednesday's contest and left the field, and the injury is serious enough for him to miss the rest of the game. He completed 13 of his 19 passing attempts for 161 yards and one touchdown, adding three yards on four rushing attempts. Mabrey Mettauer has taken over the offense in Watson's absence.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Green - Dressed ahead of UTEP game Green (undisclosed) is suited up ahead of Sam Houston's clash with UTEP, per Sam Houston Sports Talk.

Impact Green was officially listed as questionable on the Bearkats' injury report, but the tailback is in pads ahead of Wednesday night's game. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll play, but it's a good sign the tailback is going to give it a go. If Green can't play, expect more action for Alton McCaskill.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Darrick Bledsoe III - No-go in Week 8 Bledsoe (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against UTEP.

Impact Bledsoe will miss a second straight game due to an undisclosed injury. His absence, along with that of Qua'vez Humphreys, could open up more targets for Grady O'Neill and Michael Phoenix.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Qua'Vez Humphreys - No go in Week 8 Humphreys (undisclosed) won't play in Wednesday's game against UTEP

Impact Humphreys saw just three targets over his first four games this season, but he's had nine passes thrown his way in his past two contests. The Bearkats will be without Humphreys and Darrick Bledsoe (undisclosed) on Wednesday night, which could leave more opportunities for Grady O'Neil and Michael Phoenix.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rayfield Lotten - Iffy for Week 8 Lotten (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against UTEP.

Impact Lotten pops up on the injury report for Week 8 after catching three passes on five targets for 54 yards over his first six appearances. A potential absence likely wouldn't have much impact on the target distribution.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Green - Officially questionable Green (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against UTEP.

Impact Green was left off the depth chart for Week 8 due to an undisclosed injury, and he's officially been labeled questionable for the contest, which, paired with his omission from the depth chart, isn't a great indication. The tailback has missed two straight games due to the injury. If he can't play, Alton McCaskill and Landan Brown would likely handle most of the carries once again.

Elijah Green - Depth chart omission for Week 8 Green (undisclosed) is not part of the Bearkats' depth chart for their upcoming game Wednesday against UTEP, Sports of SHSU reports.

Impact Green not part of the Bearkats' depth chart downgrades him to doubtful for Wednesday. Without him available, their running backs required a new RB1, most recently Alton McCaskill. Each of his last games includes at least double-digit carries.

Chris Reed - Catches two TDs Reed caught three passes for 63 yards and two scores against JSU on Thursday.

Impact Don't read too much into this. One, two touchdowns on three catches is an unsustainable conversion rate. Two, Reed has eight catches total on the season.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Coco Brown - Rushes for TD Brown ran five times for 23 yards and a score and had three catches for 14 yards versus JSU on Thursday.

Impact Brown is the third-or-fourth option running the ball, but his role is to be a receiving back. He has 23 catches through six games.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Alton McCaskill - Rushes for 87 yards McCaskill ran 14 times for 87 yards against JSU on Thursday.

Impact McCaskill looked much better than last week, which was his first game since Week 0 due to injury. He's rushed for over six yards per carry in his two starts when he was in gear, which is encouraging.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hunter Watson - Throws three TDs Watson went 12-for-19 for 136 yards and three touchdowns against JSU on Thursday. He also ran 13 times for 52 yards, but fumbled twice, losing one.

Impact This was Watson's first game with multiple touchdowns. He has six touchdowns total (four passing, two rushing) but has five turnovers as well.
