Dane Pardridge - First score of game in blowout Pardridge recorded one reception (on two targets) for 23 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 54-15 victory over Western Illinois.

Impact Pardridge logged the first touchdown of the game off a 23-yard pass, but he was quiet for the rest of the matchup. The nature of the blowout did get more wide receivers involved for the Huskies, but Pardridge will likely hold a supplementary receiving role this season unless injuries plague the starters.

Cam Thompson - Gets score against Western Illinois Thompson reeled in all two targets for 36 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 54-15 victory against Western Illinois.

Trayvon Rudolph - Finds end zone vs. Leathernecks Rudolph hauled in all four targets for 104 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 54-15 win against Western Illinois.

Impact Rudolph would have had a solid outing even without his third quarter 43-yard receiving touchdown. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver led the Huskies pass catching room in yards even off one less catch than tight end Grayson Barnes (5-95-1). Rudolph is poised as the WR1 this season and should continue to be even in closer matchups.

Grayson Barnes - Almost 100 yards in victory Barnes posted five receptions (on six targets) for 95 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 54-15 victory versus Western Illinois.

Impact Barnes was decent for the team in the first half but elevated his stats even more with a 60-yard receiving touchdown in the third quarter. The tight end could be more of a touchdown-reliant option this season, but he still showed a good route-running ability especially as a 6-foot-5 build.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jaylen Poe - Gets touchdown in win Poe compiled seven rushes for 42 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all two targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 54-15 win versus Western Illinois.

Impact Given the nature of the blowout game, Poe had more opportunities on the ground. The 5-foot-10 ball carrier did still showcase an hard-running ability with 6.0 yards per carry and a score in the third quarter. His spot in the offense in closer games remains unknown in the coming weeks against better competition.
