Per Scott Watkins of the Sun Herald, head coach Will Hall didn't commit to a starting quarterback for their Week 6 game against Louisiana-Lafayette.

Dannis Jackson - Listed on Week 4 depth chart Jackson (undisclosed) is listed on Southern Mississippi's Week 4 depth chart, indicating the receiver is set to make his return, Scott Watkins of the Sun Herald reports.

Impact Jackson hasn't played since the opener, and is now set to make his return to the field against winless Jacksonville State. His head coach Will Hall mentioned earlier in the week that he expected him to play, so this comes as little surprise. He should slide right back into the starting lineup for the Golden Eagles.

Dannis Jackson - Expected to play Week 4 Jackson (undisclosed) is back at practice and head coach Will Hall "expects him to play," Dima Mixon of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Jackson is reportedly back practicing with the Eagles, albeit in a non-contact jersey. It's unclear what his participation level was, but this is an excellent sign for the receiver that's missed the past two games. In Week 1, Jackson reeled in three catches for 42 yards.

Tate Rodemaker - Part of first team Tuesday Rodemaker (ankle) was part of Southern Miss' first team during its practice Tuesday, Dima Mixon of The Student Printz reports.

Impact Rodemaker being part of Southern Miss' first team Tuesday indicates his ankle is fine after his injury to it Saturday. As a precaution, his availability status will be probable before the Golden Eagles' game Saturday at Jacksonville State, but he is expected to be there without any problems.

Ethan Crawford - Not at Tuesday practice Crawford (undisclosed) is not at Southern Miss' team practice Tuesday, Andrew Abadie of PineBeltSPORTS reports.

Impact The reasoning for Crawford's practice absence is unknown. But because of an undisclosed problem, his availability status has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday at Jacksonville State.

Ty Mims - Finally breaks out Mims hauled in 6 of 9 targets for 128 yards during Saturday's 49-24 defeat versus South Florida.

Impact Mims was expected to be the Golden Eagles' top wideout in 2024 but combined for four catches and 23 yards in the team's first two games. The Junior finally showed the flashes we saw in 2023 on Saturday, logging multiple big gains and pacing Southern Miss in receptions and receiving yards.

Ethan Crawford - Decent in relief Crawford was 6-for-13 passing for 183 yards and one interception during Saturday's 49-24 defeat to South Florida. He also had eight rushes for 19 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Crawford took over for Tate Rodemaker (ankle) in the second quarter and immediately led a 75-yard touchdown drive. However, the Golden Eagles didn't put up any points during Crawford's final four drives, of which Crawford threw one redzone interception. Assuming Rodemaker is healthy, Crawford will return to a backup role in Week 4.

Tate Rodemaker - Replaced after tweaking ankle Rodemaker completed 10 of 15 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 49-24 loss against South Florida.

Impact Southern Miss head coach Will Hall said Saturday that Rodemaker was subbed out in the second quarter after tweaking his ankle a couple drives earlier, Scott Kirk of WDAM 7 reports. Rodemaker's removal warranted questions considering the FSU transfer had completed 66.7 percent of his passes and had Southern Miss within one score in the second quarter. Hill's comments ensure that Rodemaker's absence was due to injury and not a performance-based decision. Assuming he's healthy, Rodemaker should be back under center for a Week 4 bout with Jacksonville State.

Impact Jackson is set to miss a second consecutive game, and his absence will definitively weaken Southern Miss' passing attack.

Impact Clark handled nine more carries than any other Southern Mississippi back, but he mustered up just 2.6 yards per carry. Backup Kenyon Clay finished with four carries for 75 yards, though most of that came on a 70-yard touchdown run in garbage time. Clark appears to be the clear No. 1 back for the Golden Eagles.
