Grady O'Neill - Limited snaps in return O'Neill (undisclosed) caught three passes for 15 yards during Sunday's 37-20 defeat against Hawaii.
Impact O'Neill was previously listed as doubtful for Saturday after being held out of last week's contest due to an undisclosed injury, but he was able to suit up against Hawaii. Though the 5-foot-11 receiver was quiet ont he day, totaling just 15 yards, his return to action is encouraging to see. A matchup against Texas awaits in two weeks.

Austin Smith - Records 16 snaps Smith (undisclosed) logged 16 snaps during the Bearkats' 37-20 loss Saturday at Hawaii.
Impact For the Bearkats, their latest two-deep indicated Smith's availability Saturday. Currently, his 2025 season's stats include one reception for 11 yards.
SEPTEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Alton McCaskill - Not included in Week 2 McCaskill (undisclosed) did not play during Sam Houston's 37-20 loss Saturday at Hawaii.
Impact Prior to Sam Houston's latest game Saturday, Sports of SHSU announced that McCaskill would be out at Hawaii. Without him, Elijah Green's carries increased. Fellow running back Shane Porter also began his current season Saturday.

Coco Brown - More catches than carries Brown ran the ball three times for nine yards against Hawaii on Saturday, but he had four catches for 18 yards.
Impact After Brown tallied 85 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries last week against UNLV, it was interesting to see what he might do this well. Well, he was barely involved in the run game, though the four catches did keep him active.

Elijah Green - Catches TD Green ran 10 times for 30 yards and had three catches for 45 yards and a score versus Hawaii on Saturday.
Impact Green, an Indiana transfer by way of UNC, has been key to the Sam Houston passing offense. He has 11 catches for 124 yards and a score through three games. However, he can't get anything going on the ground. Green has averaged 3.2 yards per carry.

Landyn Locke - Throws TD in review Locke replaced Mabrey Mettauer under center Saturday against Hawaii after Mettauer didn't return following a hard hit. He went 6-for-0 for 68 yards and a touchdown.
Impact Locke, a freshman, was making his collegiate debut. Obviously, that wasn't the plan. Mettauer was only starting because Hunter Watson (undisclosed) was out. While Locke comported himself well, it seems unlikely he will jump to the top of the depth chart if everybody is healthy.

Mabrey Mettauer - Struggles before early exit Mettauer went 12-for-18 for 91 yards and an interception and ran 16 times for 45 yards Saturday against Hawaii. However, he took a hard hit in the fourth quarter and did not return...
Impact Mettauer was only starting because Hunter Watson (undisclosed) was out. The Bearkats have a bye in Week 3, but if neither Watson nor Mettauer is healthy enough to play, Landyn Locke will be the guy under center.

Mabrey Mettauer - Starting vs. Hawaii Mettauer will start against Hawaii on Saturday, Paul Brecht of Hawai'i Sports Radio reports.
Impact Mettauer will make his first start of the season Saturday in place of Hunter Watson (undisclosed). In his lone appearance this season, Mettauer completed eight of 13 passes for 86 yards, a touchdown and an interception against UNLV in Week 1.

Hunter Watson - Not playing vs. Hawaii Watson is not available to face Hawaii on Saturday due to undisclosed reasons, Stephen Tsai of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports.
Impact The absence of Watson is significant for Sam Houston, as he has been the top option under center in the first two games. This means Mabrey Mettauer is expected to get the nod in Week 2, whereas Watson will aim to return to action against Texas on Sep. 20 after the bye week.

Hawaii vs. Sam Houston Prediction, Odds, Picks - September 7, 2025
Austin Smith - Included on two-deep Smith (undisclosed) is included on Sam Houston's two-deep ahead of the Week 2 matchup with Hawaii, per Sports of SHSU.
Impact Smith saw limited action in Week 1 after being questionable during the week. Now that he's listed on the Bearkats' two-deep, it seems as though the tight end was trending in the right direction. Still, it remains to be seen if he can become a fantasy-relevant member of this offense.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Grady O'Neill - Absent from depth chart O'Neill (undisclosed) isn't listed on Sam Houston's Week 2 depth chart, per Sports of SHSU.
Impact O'Neill caught three passes for 50 yards in the Week 0 opener, but didn't play in Week 1. Now, he looks slated to miss a second straight game, especially considering he seems to be a starter when he's healthy.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Alton McCaskill - Included on Week 2 depth chart McCaskill (undisclosed) is listed on Sam Houston's depth chart for Week 2, per Sports of SHSU.
Impact McCaskill didn't play in Week 1 after amassing 72 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 0. The tailback has since been described as questionable for Saturday night against Hawaii, and his inclusion on the two-deep ahead of the matchup is a good sign if not a concrete indicator that he'll play.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Alton McCaskill - Trending in the right direction McCaskill (undisclosed) is trending in the right direction and is questionable for Sam Houston's Week 2 game against Hawaii, per Sports of SHSU.
Impact McCaskill logged 11 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown in the Week 0 loss to Western Kentucky, but missed Week 1 against UNLV. The tailback appears to be trending positively, however, and is now firmly questionable for Week 2 against Hawaii. Upon his return, he'll slide into a backfield that currently features Elijah Green and Landan Brown.

Austin Smith - Sees limited action Week 1 Smith (undisclosed) was on the field for 11 total snaps during Sam Houston's 38-21 loss against UNLV, per PFF.com.
Impact Smith, who was deemed questionable ahead of the contest, saw his snaps fall from 62 in Week 0 to 11 in Week 1. The 6-foot-5 graduate student's status will be worth monitoring heading into Week 2 against Hawaii.
AUGUST 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rayfield Lotten - Appears against UNLV Lotten (undisclosed) accrued zero receptions (on one target) for zero yards during Friday's 38-21 defeat versus UNLV.
Impact Lotten, who was listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against UNLV, saw one target in the contest. The 6-foot-6 redshirt sophomore, who caught one pass for 36 yards in Sam Houston's Week 0 opener against Western Kentucky, will look to bounce back against Hawaii next Sunday.
