Alex Bauman News, Rumors, Updates - Tulane Green Wave

Scores in return to action Bauman (undisclosed) hauled in his only target for 14 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 45-37 victory versus North Texas.

Impact Bauman was previously thought to be questionable for Saturday's game after missing last week's matchup against Rice with an undisclosed injury, but the junior tight end was able to suit up against the Mean Green. Bauman capitalized on his return to action, finding the end zone on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Darian Mensah in the third quarter, extending Tulane's lead to 20 points at the time. His next opportunity will come against Charlotte this coming Thursday.

Impact Bauman was carted off the field in Saturday's game against UAB, but recent reports suggest that the injury might not have been as severe as initially expected.

His next chance to play will come against Rice on Oct. 19, right after the bye week.

Impact Bauman has been limited this offseason, but the tight end is now a full go. He's reportedly playing well in fall camp, and was named to the John Mackey Award watchlist, the recipient being the best tight end in college football.

Impact Bauman caught his fourth touchdown of the season Saturday, all four of which have come in his last four games. He also set a season high with five catches and was targeted five times for just the second time this season.
