6 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Josiah Thomas - Nets 60 yards Thomas caught four passes for 60 yards Thursday versus Western Kentucky.

Impact Thomas had five catches for 90 yards in NMSU's last game, so he's looking impressive for a tight end with a game against FIU coming up.

TK King - Reels in TD King caught two passes for 21 yards and a touchdown against WKU on Thursday.

Impact King did score his third touchdown, but this is his second game with under 30 receiving yards in a row.

James Jones - Rushes for 155 yards Jones ran 20 times for 155 yards and a touchdown Thursday against Western Kentucky.

Impact Since opening the season with Florida State, Jones has emerged as the centerpiece of NMSU's offense. In his last four games he's rushed 66 times for 482 yards and totaled four touchdowns.

Adam Damante - Gets start in win Damante went 15-for-26 for 146 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against WKU on Saturday. He also rushed for a score.

Impact Damante got the start over Trey Hedden, who started the first four games of the season but didn't play at all in this one. Though Damante didn't do a great job by any means, he was better than Hedden, and NMSU won, so he will likely earn another start off of this.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Quincy Burroughs - Nets 62 yards Burroughs caught three passes for 62 yards against NMSU on Saturday.

Impact Burroughs had five catches for 71 yards prior to this, so this almost doubled his season numbers, and likely means this is a bit of a fluke.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Stafford Jr. - Gets over 100 yards Stafford caught 10 passes for 108 yards against NMSU on Saturday.

Impact The true freshman Stafford has shown some upside this year. He has 30 catches for 260 yards, and that's with games against Georgia and Indiana in the mix early for the Hilltoppers.
