Jalen Cooper - Opens scoring in Tallahassee Cooper went for four receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown during Monday's 27-24 win over Florida State.

Impact There might have been a power outage in Tallahassee to start Monday's game, but Cooper was certainly electrifying once the game started. He scored the first touchdown of SMU's season on a 50-yard connection with QB Kevin Jennings just 5:29 into the game. He opened his freshman season with a touchdown against East Texas A&M on Aug. 30, 2025 last season, and followed that up with a score in his second game, too. He'll look to make it 2-for-2 with a TD against UC Davis on Saturday.

Randy Pittman Jr. - Secures TD in road victory Pittman totaled five receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown during Monday's 27-24 win versus Florida State.

Impact Pittman hauled in a 10-yard touchdown late in the second quarter, and he ended up equaling Yannick Smith for the most receptions on the team. However, the latter had a long scoring play to beat Pittman in yardage. The tight end is off to a good start, and he'll look to keep jelling with QB Kevin Jennings in next Saturday's visit from FCS UC Davis.

Yannick Smith - Hits century mark with touchdown Smith registered five receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown during Monday's 27-24 victory over Florida State.

Impact Smith was having a quiet night until exploded for a 79-yard touchdown with 12:37 left in the fourth quarter, giving SMU a 24-17 lead at the time. It was the fourth time in his collegiate career that he hit triple digits in receiving yardage. He'll look to carry over the momentum into Saturday's game against FCS UC Davis in Dallas.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Dramekco Green - Totals 14 backfield touches Green totaled 13 carries for 43 yards during Monday's 27-24 win against Florida State.

Impact Green actually saw a total 15 touches, while Kendrick Raphael had 12 carries and a single reception. However, Raphael also averaged 6.3 yards per carry, while Green managed just 3.3 yards per carry. Both players should enjoy plenty of success against UC Davis next Saturday in the home opener, and SMU is likely to give some other inexperienced tailbacks a look if the game gets out of hand, too.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kendrick Raphael - Splits SMU backfield in win Raphael totaled 12 rushes for 75 yards during Monday's 27-24 win versus Florida State.

Impact Raphael also added an 11-yard reception, basically splitting the primary backfield touches with Dramekco Green. Raphael averaged 6.3 yards per carry, to just 3.3 yards per tote for Green, so that likely bodes well going forward for his touch total. Both players should enjoy plenty of success as the Mustangs step out of conference to host FCS UC Davis next Saturday.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Jennings - Overcomes two picks for road win Jennings completed 26 of 36 passes for 430 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Monday's 27-24 victory against Florida State. He also had five rushes for 33 yards.

Impact Jennings had a couple of interceptions, but he was able to overcome those miscues to lead this team to a season-opening road win. It was the eighth time he passed for at least 300 yards, and the performance Monday was easily his career high. His previous best came on Nov. 1, 2025 in a 26-20 overtime win over Miami when he threw for 365 yards. He'll look to keep up the good work against UC Davis on a short week next Saturday.

Daylon Singleton - Ready to roll vs. 'Noles Singleton (undisclosed) is available for SMU against Florida State.

Impact Singleton will be ready to roll, but the second-year wideout is buried on the Mustangs' depth chart and won't play a big role, if any, on offense.

Daylon Singleton - Questionable for Week 1 Singleton (undisclosed) is questionable for Monday's Week 1 matchup against Florida State.

Impact It remains to be seen what kind of injury Singleton is dealing with, but the wideout will be a game-time call for Week 1 on Monday in this ACC matchup. The sophomore wideout appeared in three games for SMU in 2025, making one catch for minus-1 yards.

Miles Uter - Not listed on injury report Uter (undisclosed) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's Week 1 matchup at Florida State.
