Braylon McReynolds - Plays in limited capacityMcReynolds (undisclosed) totaled three rushes for 13 yards and reeled in their only target for 33 yards during Thursday's 87-10 victory against Northwestern State.

ImpactMcReynolds didn't play in Week 2 for undisclosed reasons but took the field in Thursday's blowout win. He trailed Kentrel Bullock (eight carries), Fluff Bothwell (seven carries), PJ Martin (six carries) and Jarvis Durr (five carries) in rushing attempts. However, McReynolds should be expected to see workloads comparable to Bullock and Bothwell moving forward as part of a committee.

Kentrel Bullock - Effective in blowoutBullock notched eight rushes for 102 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in their only target for 18 yards during Thursday's 87-10 victory versus Northwestern State.

ImpactSouth Alabama gashed Northwestern State for over 10 yards per carry as a team, with Bullock logging 12.8 YPC individually. Bullock is still splitting work with Fluff Bothwell and Braylon McReynolds, so he shouldn't be an option in most formats.

DJ Thomas-Jones - Reels in two touchdownsThomas-Jones caught all three targets for 34 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 87-10 win against Northwestern State.

ImpactThomas-Jones was targeted just four times in the Jaguars' first two games but caught all three of the passes thrown his way Thursday. The performance was his third multi-touchdown outing in his last five games spanning back to last year.

Jamaal Pritchett - Left out of lopsided winPritchett reeled in 2 of 4 targets for 22 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 87-10 win versus Northwestern State. He also returned a punt for a touchdown.

ImpactThe Jaguars put up 80 points Thursday, but the star wide receiver didn't take part in the offensive masterclass. His main contribution came on special teams, where he housed a 62-yard punt for South Alabama's first points. Outside of the return, Pritchett was quiet, though the starters didn't play the full four quarters. Pritchett totaled 18 receptions and 264 yards during his first two games.

Gio Lopez - Throws four touchdownsLopez (toe) completed 15 of 19 passes for 257 yards and four touchdowns during Thursday's 87-10 victory against Northwestern State.

ImpactLopez missed South Alabama's Week 2 game due to a toe injury, but he suited up Thursday. The redshirt freshman was featured in the lopsided victory, completing 78.9 percent of his passes and averaging 13.5 yards per attempt. Lopez has been outstanding this season, tallying 689 passing yards with eight total touchdowns and no interceptions. He'll look to keep rolling next week against Appalachian State.

ImpactMcReynolds is working behind Kentrel Bullock during warmups, but he's warming up nonetheless. Earlier this week head coach Major Applewhite said he expected McReynolds to play Thursday, and it's currently trending towards him being right.
