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.

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.

His spot in the offense in closer games remains unknown in the coming weeks against better competition.

Jalen Macon - Decent outing in blowout Macon was 4-for-7 passing for 50 yards during Saturday's 54-15 win against Western Illinois. He also had five rushes for 27 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Macon was named the backup quarterback before Northern Illinois' season opener, but he still found a way to get involved in the blowout victory. The 6-foot-5 quarterback capitalized on his 27 yards rushing as well, cashing in a touchdown in the fourth quarter. The matchup did end up being a blowout which aided towards Macon's stats, but he could still be a supplementary playmaker in the coming weeks.

Jalen Macon - Not in line to start Macon is slated to back up Ethan Hampton after Hampton was announced as the starter prior to the contest, Skyler Kisellus of the Northern Star reports.
Impact Macon was listed as a co-starter along with Hampton on the opening depth chart, but it appears he'll begin the season in a backup role. It's still possible he will see some snaps under center in the opener, especially if things go south for Hampton, but he will likely begin Saturday's tilt on the sidelines.

Kenji Lewis - Sitting out Saturday Lewis will not play in Saturday's game versus Western Illinois, per the MAC injury report.
Impact Lewis seemed unlikely to be a huge offensive contributor even when healthy, but he won't have an opportunity in any capacity Saturday. He'll have another chance to get back in uniform next week versus Notre Dame.
AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Seibert - Out Saturday Seibert (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Western Illinois.
Impact Seibert appeared in five games for Northern Illinois last year, making just two of five field goal attempts. Even when Seibert is healthy, Kanon Woodill is expected to serve as the Huskies' starting kicker.
