Solo Lewis - Catches TDLewis caught three passes for 48 yards and a score versus MTSU on Thursday.

ImpactLewis caught a touchdown against Nicholls State in the opener as well. However, he has as many games with zero targets, two, as games with a score.

Jay Wilkerson - Finds end zoneWilkerson caught two passes for 37 yards and a touchdown against MTSU on Thursday. He also ran once for 15 yards.

ImpactWilkerson, who last played FBS football as a freshman with Wazzu in 2020, started the season with seven catches for 149 yards over the first two games. Then, he had two games without a touch (but with five targets). He finally has an FBS touchdown, but what is Wilkerson's role exactly?

Tru Edwards - Finds end zoneEdwards caught six passes for 127 yards and a touchdown against MTSU on Thursday.

ImpactFinally, Edwards got to do something with all his looks. Two games ago he had five catches for 21 yards, and in his last game he turned eight catches into only 39 yards. While this game was better, it was against perhaps the worst passing defense in the FBS.

Omiri Wiggins - Catches two TDsWiggins ran the ball eight times for 49 yards against MTSU on Thursday, but also caught two passes for 21 yards and two scores.

ImpactInexperienced quarterback Evan Bullock may have been happy to dump the ball off to a back, and Wiggins did well with his two catches. The issue, of course, is that you certainly can't rely on a running back to turn every catch into a score, and on the season Wiggins has averaged 4.0 yards per carry on only 27 carries.

Evan Bullock - Explodes in second startBullock went 18-for-25 for 290 yards and five touchdowns against MTSU on Thursday. He also ran for a touchdown.

ImpactBullock got his first collegiate start in La Tech's last game against FIU, where he was efficient but unremarkable. Luckily for him, his second start was against arguably the worst pass defense in all of FBS football. Even so, putting up great numbers against bad competition is indicative of something, and at the very least Bullock has earned another start.

Holden Willis - Catches TDWillis caught five passes for 79 yards and a touchdown against La Tech on Thursday.

ImpactLast year, Willis stood out for the tight end position with 46 catches for 697 yards and five touchdowns. Well, though six games this season he has 25 catches for 399 yards and two touchdowns, so it has been more of the same.
