Solomon Davis - Leads air attackDavis hauled in all four targets for 109 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 66-10 victory against Central Connecticut State.

ImpactThe Valparaiso transfer led Central Michigan's receiving core in receptions, touchdowns and yards as the team steamrolled the Chippewas. Davis looks to be a force against defenders and top target for play caller Joe Labas, but the wide receiver's true skills will be showcased when Central Michigan takes on tougher opponents as the season progresses.

Evan Boyd - Brings in touchdown ThursdayBoyd caught all three targets for 78 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 66-10 win against Central Connecticut State.

ImpactThe 6-foot-3 wide receiver was a force in the passing game, trailing only Solomon Davis in receiving yards. As a freshman in standing, Boyd has a bright year ahead, especially if he's able to stay as a top target for quarterback Joe Labas in the tougher games to come.

Stephan Bracey Jr. - Almost 50 yards in winBracey Jr. reeled in all two targets for 48 yards during Thursday's 66-10 victory versus Central Connecticut State.

ImpactBracey saw just 10 receptions for 66 yards in the entire 2023 season with Central Michigan, so this performance already looks to surpass his former seasons. The 5-foot-10 pass catcher isn't currently at the top of the wide receiver, but he could be in the coming weeks if he continues to generate targets from quarterback Joe Labas.

Myles Bailey - Cashes in two touchdownsBailey logged nine rushes for 68 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in all two targets for 19 yards during Thursday's 66-10 victory versus Central Connecticut State.

ImpactBailey only rushed nine times against the Chippewas, but he did still lead the backfield with Marion Lukes out with an undisclosed injury. The senior ball carrier's usage could change if Lukes ends up returning in the coming weeks, but Bailey did showcase a solid ability to find the end zone in Central Michigan's blowout victory.

Joe Labas - Dominant showing in blowoutLabas was 18-for-24 passing for 342 yards and three touchdowns during Thursday's 66-10 victory versus Central Connecticut State.

ImpactThe Iowa transfer showcased why he should be the starter for Central Michigan, although the game did end up being a blowout. The matchups should be tougher in the weeks to come, but Labas' dominant performance against the Chippewas bids well for the rest of the season.
