Jay Ducker - Limited in practice Ducker (foot) was seen participating in drills but did not participate in contact activities, per Sports of SHSU.
Impact Ducker was previously seen in a boot during Wednesday's scrimmage, but the junior returned to practice Sunday in a limited fashion. The 5-foot-9 running back joined Sam Houston after transferring from Memphis in the offseason. Ducker, who missed the 2023 season with an injury, ran for 544 yards and seven touchdowns for the Tigers in 2022, adding 12 catches for 103 yards through the air as well.

Jase Bauer - Takes first-team reps Bauer received first-team reps in Sam Houston's first scrimmage, Colton Foster of The Huntsville Item reports.
Impact Bauer was expected to be the starter for the Bearkats since he transferred in from Central Michigan. The quarterback battle between him, Grant Gunnell and Hunter Watson has been neck-and-neck, but Bauer appears to have taken a slight lead by taking the first-team reps in Sam Houston's scrimmage.

Qua'Vez Humphreys - Participates in Wednesday practice Humphreys (foot) participated in the Bearkats' team practice Wednesday, Sam Houston SportsTalk reports.
Impact Humphreys broke one of his feet relatively right before the 2023 Bearkats began their regular season. Fast-forward more than 11 months later, and he is healthy again, based on the observation of him "looking impressive" with "a couple nice catches" Wednesday.
AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE
Ife Adeyi - Plays in scrimmage Adeyi (undisclosed) was observed playing during Wednesday's scrimmage, Sam Houston SportsTalk reports.
Impact Adeyi missed all but three games due to an undisclosed injury during the 2023 season. The senior wide receiver was observed catching a deep pass from quarterback Hunter Watson during Wednesday's scrimmage, indicating the injury is behind him. Across three games last season, the 5-foot-10 pass-catcher tallied seven receptions for 74 yards.
AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE
Kaden Taylor - Part of Sam Houston's roster Taylor is part of Sam Houston's 2024 roster.
Impact Taylor has transferred to Sam Houston from North Texas. While enrolled there, he did not log any counting stats, something the freshman wideout will look to avoid as a member of the Bearkats.

Landan Brown - Returns to spring practice Brown (undisclosed) participated in spring practice Saturday, Sports of SHSU reports.
Impact Brown played just two games as a freshman before he was sidelined by injury, tallying 30 all-purpose yards. He's expected to work in a committee with John Gentry and Zach Hrbacek in 2024.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Fernando Garza III - Links up with Sam Houston Garza has announced, via his personal Twitter page, that he will join Sam Houston in 2024.
Impact Garza will join the Bearkats in 2024 following a two-year stint with Texas A&M. The 6-foot-6 sophomore, a former three-star recruit in the class of 2021, will look to see more involvement with Sam Houston next season.
JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Jase Bauer - Commits to Sam Houston Bauer has committed to Sam Houston ahead of the 2024 season, Sports of SHSU reports.
Impact Bauer spent the 2023 campaign with Central Michigan and accounted for 2,246 yards and 22 touchdowns in a starting role. He should have the same role under center for the Bearkats.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Elijah Sohn - DNP vs. MTSU Sohn (undisclosed) did not play during Sam Houston's game Saturday against MTSU.
Impact Sohn sat out Sam Houston's last three games of 2023. He finished the year with 15 receptions for 159 yards (10.6 averaged per catch) and two touchdowns across his seven games.
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Trapper Pannell - Participates in three snaps Pannell (lower leg) participated in three snaps during Saturday's 23-20 win versus Middle Tennessee State.
Impact Pannell's lower leg recovered as Sam Houston's 2023 season ended. Ideally for the quarterback, he can be in a setting to throw the football in 2024. Pannell did not attempt any passes, strictly being resorted to a rusher with 12 carries for 15 yards. However, he did log three touchdowns.
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach Hrbacek - Targeted once in finale Hrbacek had zero carries and reeled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 23-20 win over Middle Tennessee State.
Impact Hrbacek will finish his redshirt sophomore season with 37 carries and seven receptions for 136 all-purpose yards (93 rushing and 43 receiving) across five games he played. Hrbacek's 2023 was a slight downgrade compared to his 2022, but he has two seasons of collegiate eligibility remaining to bounce back.
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Simeon Evans - Plays WR in season finale Evans caught 11 passes for 110 yards versus MTSU on Saturday.
Impact Evans spent one year as a quarterback at Army, and then transferred to Sam Houston when it was still an FCS program. This year, he was still seen as a backup quarterback, and not even the main backup. So, in the season finale, the Bearkats decided to see what he could do as a wide receiver. Looks like Evans will have a new role in 2024.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Smith - Not able to contribute Smith had two catches for eight yards against MTSU on Saturday.
Impact Smith was questionable for this game with an undisclosed issue, and clearly he was compromised. He spent the season as the one viable offensive weapon for the Bearkats, but he has a full offseason to rest up, and also perhaps to transfer to a better program coming off this campaign.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
John Gentry - Rushes for TD Gentry ran 17 times for 67 yards and a score against MTSU on Saturday.
Impact Gentry transferred in from Utah State in hopes of finding a bigger role. He did, but he also only averaged 3.3 yards per carry, and that won't cut it.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Keegan Shoemaker - Throws INT Showmaker went 31-for-48 for 198 yards and an interception against MTSU on Saturday.
Impact Shoemaker moved with the Bearkats up from the FCS, but he clearly was not up to the challenge of playing at this level. Throwing 48 passes and ending up with only 198 yards passing is just one example of his issues, and he was very turnover prone. If Shoemaker is starting at the FBS level in 2024 it will be a surprise.

Elijah Sohn - Out against Western Kentucky Sohn (undisclosed) didn't play Saturday against Western Kentucky.
Impact Sohn registered a second straight absence, but it's unclear what kind of injury is affecting him. His next chance to play will come in the regular-season finale against Middle Tennessee State.
NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Smith - Finds the end zone Smith caught 10 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown against WKU on Saturday.
Impact This is the second game in a row where Smith notched 115 yards, but this time he added a score. He's the clear best player in this offense, and ending the season against MTSU is a favorable matchup.

John Gentry - Rushes for TD Gentry ran 15 times for 41 yards and a touchdown against WKU on Saturday. He also had four catches for 68 yards.
Impact With a few Sam Houston backs injured, the team was fortunate to get Gentry back from his own injury that kept him out of last week. This work in the passing game isn't a fluke. He has 31 catches for 266 yards and two touchdowns in nine games.
NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Keegan Shoemaker - Throws TD, two INTs Shoemaker went 25-for-45 for 271 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against WKU on Saturday. He also ran 10 times for 34 yards.
Impact Shoemaker showed a clear issue with turning the ball over in his first season as an FBS quarterback. Through 10 games he's thrown 10 picks, and that's with only 15 passing touchdowns to balance them out.
