DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Zevi Eckhaus - High output, mixed results Eckhaus completed 26 of 44 passes for 334 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions during Monday's 34-21 win over Utah State. He also had 14 rushes for 34 yards.

For passing, Eckhaus completed 193 of 307 pass attempts for 2,094 yards and a 15-12 TD-INT ratio. He also logged 114 carries for 371 yards and eight touchdowns, surpassing the 20 TD threshold in 2025.
