Cole Tabb - Quiet in lead role Tabb notched 11 rushes for 32 yards and reeled in their only target for two yards during Saturday's 49-20 loss to Notre Dame.

Impact With Micah Ford (undisclosed) sidelined, Tabb assumed No. 1 RB duties for the Cardinal. However, he failed to do much with the expanded opportunities, finishing fewer than three yards per carry. The redshirt freshman will end 2025 with 114 carries for 445 yards and three touchdowns. With Ford, who also just finished up his second collegiate season, ahead of him on the depth and a new HC taking over the program, Tabb could be at risk of transferring.

Marcus Brown - Scores in garbage time Brown logged five receptions (on eight targets) for 41 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-20 loss against Notre Dame.

Impact Brown had his best statistical game of the season, benefiting from the lopsided score. The wideout scored his first touchdown of the campaign, reeling in a pass in the closing minutes from Charlie Mirer. Brown ends his second college season having caught 12 of 23 targets for 86 yards.

CJ Williams - Season ends with dud Williams had one reception (on five targets) for 14 yards during Saturday's 49-20 loss versus Notre Dame.

Impact After a disappointing pair of seasons at Wisconsin, Williams moved out west in search of a bigger role, and he found that at Stanford. Williams had accumulated 35 receptions on 74 targets for 430 yards across his first three seasons before posting 60 catches for 757 yards and six touchdowns in 2025. He drew 101 targets. The senior has exhausted his eligibility.

Elijah Brown - Struggles against ND Brown was 18-for-37 passing for 204 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 49-20 loss against Notre Dame.

Impact Stanford was put into a big hole early, and Brown couldn't do much to drag the team out of it. He'll end the season having made three starts and six total appearances. As a starter, he went 55-for-96 for 611 yards and a 3:2 TD:INT. A redshirt freshman, Brown likely didn't do enough to convince Stanford he's a long-term quarterback option.

NOVEMBER 25 • FOX SPORTS

Elijah Brown - Quiet against Cal Brown completed 10 of 20 passes for 123 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-10 win against California.

Impact Stanford leaned heavily on the run game Saturday, leaving just 20 passing attempts for Brown. The redshirt freshman completed 50 percent of the attempts but didn't turn the ball over. In two starts this season, Brown has thrown for 407 yards with a 2:1 TD:INT.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Micah Ford - Huge workload in win Ford logged 29 carries for 150 yards and one touchdown and caught their only target for seven yards during Saturday's 31-10 win against California.

Impact Ford saw 30 touches for the first time this season, and hit the 150 rushing-yard threshold for the second time in nine games. The sophomore running back has been held back by some poor offensive performances by the Cardinal, but he's gotten back on track since Stanford turned to quarterback Elijah Brown. In the two games Brown has started, Ford has rushed 46 times for 218 yards and caught three passes for 42 yards.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

CJ Williams - Production continues Williams accrued five receptions (on nine targets) for 76 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-10 victory versus California.

Impact Williams has logged at least five receptions, 60 yards and a touchdown in three straight games, and he's now found the endzone in five of his last six outings. The senior wideout has been dominant after a slow start to the campaign. In his last eight games, Williams is averaging 6.4 receptions and 85.1 receiving yards while topping the century mark four times. He'll close out the 2025 season against Notre Dame.
