Lands in FCS ranks Rodemaker will transfer to Western Carolina, per Logan B. Robinson of SI.com.

Enters portal Rodemaker will enter the transfer portal, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact Rodemaker was iffy as Southern Miss' starting quarterback this season, tossing for 985 yards, seven touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 59.8 percent of his passes. The former Florida State Seminole will have one more year of eligibility remaining.

Decent in blowout Rodemaker was 18-for-30 passing for 234 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 52-20 loss to Troy.

Impact Both of Rodemaker's interceptions came in the fourth quarter when the Golden Eagles were trailing by more than 20 points. Even with the blunders, he was solid. Rodemaker completed 60 percent of his passes and set a season high in passing yards. Southern Miss isn't eligible for postseason play, so Rodemaker finishes his 2024 season with 985 passing yards and a 7:7 TD:INT.

Remaining starter for Week 14 Rodemaker is listed as the starting quarterback for Southern Miss' game against Troy on Saturday.

Impact Rodemaker completed 15 of 27 passes for 108 yards and one touchdown during the Golden Eagles' Week 13 loss to South Alabama. Rodemaker started the contest, but three drives to backup QB John White. Though he may share work once again in Week 14, Rodemaker will start the regular-season finale under center.

Starting Saturday Rodemaker is starting Saturday's game versus South Alabama, Scott Watkins of The Sun Herald reports.

Impact Rodemaker will return to the starting lineup Saturday for the first time since Week 6. He has completed 65 of 107 passes for 643 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions this season.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in relief Rodemaker was 6-for-15 passing for 63 yards and one interception during Saturday's 58-3 loss to Texas State.

Impact Ethan Crawford supplanted Rodemaker as the Golden Eagles' starting quarterback in Week 7 and got his first extended action Saturday since being benched. He played the entire second half -- inheriting a 34-3 deficit -- and failed to lead a single scoring drive. Crawford is likely to remain under center in Week 13, but the Southern Miss offense should be avoided in fantasy.

Won't be starter moving forward Rodemaker has been benched in favor of Ethan Crawford moving forward, Dima Mixon of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Rodemaker was benched against UL-Monroe, and Crawford apparently played well enough for the Southern Miss coaching staff to feel comfortable trotting him out as the starter for the foreseeable future. Rodemaker has thrown for 580 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions this season while completing 64.1 percent of his passes.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Benched Saturday Rodemaker won't start Saturday against UL-Monroe, Scott Watkins of the Biloxi Sun Herald reports.

Impact Ethan Crawford will get the start Saturday for Southern Miss after Rodemaker threw for just 275 yards in his last three starts. Rodemaker, a Florida State transfer, has completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 580 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions this season.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet as starter Rodemaker completed 15 of 21 passes for 140 yards during Saturday's 23-13 loss versus Louisiana. He also had six rushes for -34 yards.

Impact Rodemaker was benched in the Golden Eagles' previous game but returned to a starting role Saturday. While he didn't throw an interception, Rodemaker lost a fumble and finished with negative rush yards for the third time in five games. The Florida State transfer has yet to throw for 180 yards, and he's logged a 4:4 TD:INt on the year.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Benched in first quarter Rodemaker was 3-for-5 passing for 15 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 44-7 loss versus Jacksonville State.

Impact Rodemaker threw interceptions on each of his first two drives, forcing the Golden Eagles to turn to John White at quarterback. White wasn't much better, turning the ball over three times and completing just nine of his 18 attempts. 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.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Rodemaker (ankle) is starting Saturday at Jacksonville State, Scott Hawkins of The Sun Herald reports.

Impact Rodemaker came into the game with an ankle injury, but it was not serious enough to keep him off the field. He has four touchdown passes through three games this season.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Improved Week 2 performance Rodemaker completed 18 of 33 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 35-10 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact After throwing for 126 yards and a pair of interceptions in the season opener, Rodemaker bounced back with a solid game Saturday. He still didn't eclipse the 200-yard mark, but he completed a pair of touchdown passes and didn't turn the ball over. It's also encouraging that Rodemaker threw the ball 33 times after attempting only 19 passes against Kentucky. Backup QB Ethan Crawford attempted three rushes and completed a pass in the second half of Saturday's game.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Improved Week 2 performance Rodemaker completed 18 of 33 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 35-10 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in opener Rodemaker was 13-for-19 passing for 126 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 31-0 loss against Kentucky.

Impact Rodemaker and the Golden Eagles offense were held scoreless in Week 1, though Rodemaker did lead a 75-yard drive that ended in an interception in the end zone. Still, Southern Miss ended up with 131 yards of total offense after the game was called in the third quarter due to inclement weather. While Rodemaker's performance doesn't inspire any confidence, Kentucky will likely be the team's most difficult opponent in 2024. The Florida St. transfer will look to bounce back against Southeastern Louisiana next week.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Appears in line to start Rodemaker practiced exclusively with the first team offense and appears to have locked down the QB1 job for Southern Mississippi, Andrew Abadie of HubCitySpokes.com reports.

Impact Rodemaker reportedly only played with the first-team offense in the Golden Eagles' final scrimmage. He also gobbled up nearly all of the first team reps at quarterback before fellow gunslinger Ethan Crawford handled the final drive of the session. It comes as little surprise that Rodemaker, the Florida State transfer, is in prime position to win this quarterback competition. He spent four seasons with the Seminoles, and is coming off his most productive year after passing for 510 yards and five touchdowns while completing 57.1 percent of his passes in 2023.

AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to join Souther Miss Rodemaker is expected to transfer to Southern Miss, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Rodemaker will join the Golden Eagles after playing four seasons at Florida State. The junior quarterback filled in for starter Jayden Daniels after he went down with an injury and completed 57.1 percent of his passes for 510 yards and five touchdowns.
