Anthony Simpson - Moving on to Toledo Simpson has signed with Toledo, the team announced.
Impact Simpson entered the portal after logging just one target at Michigan. He's looking to get back to the level of production he had at UMass in 2023, when he caught 57 passes for 792 yards and three touchdowns. He appeared in just two games before sustaining a season-ending injury in 2024.
21 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Petersen - Logs 60 receiving yards Petersen hauled in all three targets for 60 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 27-22 defeat to Louisville.
Impact For 2025 games, 60 is Petersen's most yards logged. He acclimated well to FBS football during the year. Peterson recorded 25 receptions (on 37 targets) for 335 yards and three touchdowns.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Junior Vandeross III - Seven receptions for 61 yards Vandeross gathered in 7 of 12 targets for 61 yards during Tuesday's 27-22 loss to Louisville.
Impact Vandeross' latest log was relatively pedestrian compared to that of his other games in 2025. But with his 61 receiving yards against Louisville, he finishes with four digits in the category this year. Vandeross logged 82 receptions for 1,008 yards and 11 touchdowns.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
DeaMonte Trayanum - Touchdown streak remains intact Trayanum accrued 16 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown and caught 2 of 4 targets for five yards during Tuesday's 27-22 defeat to Louisville.
Impact Trayanum kicked off his 2025 season with a relatively uninspiring team against his former team, Kentucky. Since then, he has logged a rushing touchdown during each of Toledo's games. The running back recorded 182 rushing attempts for 1,015 yards and 12 touchdowns. They do not feature Trayanum's receiving stats, which include 21 receptions for 212 yards and two more TDs.
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kalieb Osborne - Competitive during bowl loss Osborne was 17-for-28 passing for 167 yards and one touchdown during Tuesday's 27-22 defeat versus Louisville. He also had 18 rushes for 77 yards.
Impact Toledo's last two games showcased that Osborne has upside, considering he logged 160-plus total yards and a 1-0 TD in each. Ball protection will be key if Osborne wants to be a starting quarterback, and turnovers are a concern based on his three fumbles (two lost) between the two games. In 2025, Osborne logged 709 total yards (427 passing and 282 rushing) and five touchdowns (three passing and two rushing).

Why Tucker Gleason isn't playing today as Toledo QB in Boca Raton Bowl | Sporting News The Rockets are a bit shorthanded.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Tucker Gleason - Out for bowl game Gleason (back) is out for Tuesday's bowl game with Louisville, Yaw Bonsu of BCSN reports.
Impact Multiple back fractures explain why Gleason will sit out Toledo's upcoming bowl game. In 2025, the quarterback completed 207 of 320 pass attempts for 2,515 yards and a 21-9 TD-INT ratio. Gleason also logged 46 carries and four rushing touchdowns. In his place for the Toledo-Louisville bowl will be Kalieb Osborne.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Tucker Gleason - Not expected to start bowl game Gleason is not expected to start Toledo's bowl game with Louisville on Tuesday, Dave Briggs of The Toledo Blade reports.
Impact Gleason was roughed up in the last game of Toledo's 2025 regular season, and his problem resulted in Kalieb Osborne logging all of Toledo's second-half reps in the finale. Osborne continuing to log all in-game reps at quarterback looks like it will continue in Toledo's bowl game, though Gleason has not been ruled entirely out just yet.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kalieb Osborne - Expected to start bowl game Osborne is expected to start Toledo's bowl game with Louisville on Tuesday, Dave Briggs of The Toledo Blade reports.
Impact Tucker Gleason and John Alan Richter seem to still be affected by undisclosed injuries, leaving Toledo's team to look around its quarterback room for a starter. Osborne did replace Gleason during Toledo's last game of the 2025 regular season and stepped up with five completions for 108 yards and one touchdown.

Here's the latest on what's happening around college football entering Week 15.

2025 College Football Week 15 Buzz: UConn, Memphis Find New Head Coaches
Junior Vandeross III - Totals 71 yards in season finale Vandeross accrued four receptions (on eight targets) for 71 yards during Saturday's 21-3 win against Central Michigan.
Impact Vandeross finished out his senior regular season strong, surpassing 70 yards for the eighth time this season and leading his squad in receiving yards. The returning WR1 didn't quite beat his 2024 numbers in catches and receiving yards with 75 grabs for 947 yards this season, but he did record a career-high 11 touchdowns in the 2025 campaign. He'll now focus on Toledo's upcoming bowl game, and after that, he should have an opportunity to play football post-college at some level of pro.
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
DeaMonte Trayanum - Two TDs in regular season finale Trayanum had 16 carries for 94 yards and one touchdown and caught all three targets for 65 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-3 victory versus Central Michigan.
Impact Trayanum surpassed 100 scrimmage yards for his third straight game in the win over the Chippewas, and he also recorded his third multi-touchdown outing. The senior running back's move to Toledo will end up being a success, as he finished out his final collegiate season with career highs in every rushing and receiving category. Trayanum logged 166 rushes for 950 yards and 11 touchdowns, along with 19 catches for 207 yards and two scores. He'll now look to finish out his final collegiate season strong in the Rockets' upcoming bowl game.
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kalieb Osborne - Gets entire second half in win Osborne completed 5 of 7 passes for 108 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 21-3 win versus Central Michigan. He also had 12 rushes for 52 yards.
Impact Osborne filled in under center in the second half of the eventual win over the Chippewas, and he recorded his best game of the season. The redshirt freshman recorded his highest passing yardage, and he also threw a passing touchdown in the third quarter. With QB1 Tucker Gleason being sidelined for unknown reasons, Osborne could play at quarterback again in Toledo's upcoming bowl game. If not in the bowl game, Osborne will have the chance to compete for the Rockets' starting quarterback spot in the 2026 campaign.
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Tucker Gleason - Plays only first half of finale Gleason completed 9 of 17 passes for 98 yards during Saturday's 21-3 win against Central Michigan. He also had two rushes for 31 yards.
Impact Gleason only played in the first half against the Chippewas, and it's unknown if he was sidelined due to an injury, load management, or just to give redshirt freshman Kalieb Osborne some reps. The senior quarterback will now close out the season with 2,515 passing yards, 21 touchdowns and nine interceptions off a 64.7 completion rate. He also saw some success on the ground this campaign with 46 rushes for 144 yards and four touchdowns. Gleason will now focus on the Rockets' bowl game, if he ends up playing, and then plans for when he moves on from the collegiate level.
