Kadin Semonza - Pair of scores against Army Semonza completed 14 of 26 passes for 158 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 20-17 loss against Army. He also had five rushes for negative six yards with o...

Impact Following a bye week, Semonza earned the start under center despite recent struggles and a Week 4 benching against Southern Mississippi. The quarterback suffered an early setback by throwing an interception on Tulane's opening drive, marking his second pick of the year. He produced an inefficient passing performance overall, completing 53.8 percent of his passes for 158 yards and finishing under the 200-yard threshold for a second straight game. Semonza salvaged his fantasy performance by punching in a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter.

Jaylin Lucas - Makes impact through air Lucas logged two rushes for five yards and caught 2 of 4 targets for 37 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-17 loss versus Army.

Impact Lucas was not effective as a rusher but rather as a receiver against Army, recording the only receiving touchdown of the game for Tulane on a 39-yard score. The running back notched just two carries for five yards on the ground. Lucas' role in the backfield will likely be limited moving forward following Jamauri McClure's return from a foot injury.

Maurice Turner - DNP for Week 6 Turner (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 20-17 defeat to Army.

Impact Turner was sidelined Saturday after appearing in each of Tulane's first four games. Before the injury, the running back recorded 26 carries for 277 yards and two touchdowns. If he returns in Week 7 against Memphis, he could see a reduced role in the backfield following the return of Jamauri McClure.

Zycarl Lewis Jr. - Plays vs. Army Lewis (leg) logged seven snaps during Saturday's 20-17 loss to Army.

Impact Lewis returned to the field for the first time since Week 1 after holding a questionable tag prior to kickoff. The wideout was seemingly easing his way back into action, as he was limited to just seven snaps on offense. He is expected to be a reliable target in the passing attack as long as he remains healthy.

Jamauri McClure - Decent start to 2026 McClure (foot) logged five carries for 25 yards during Saturday's 20-17 loss to the Army.

Impact McClure eased into action Saturday, which makes sense since he sat out a month of games recovering from injury. Though the running back was limited to just five rushing attempts, by averaging as many yards per carry, he is a promising option heading into the second half of Tulane's 2026 season. Last year, McClure averaged 6.5 yards on 83 carries, good enough for 540 yards of offense.

Kadin Semonza - Starting Week 6 Semonza will remain the starter during Saturday's game against Army, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Semonza will remain the starter under center for the Green Wave despite his recent struggles. Through four outings the 5-foot-11 redshirt junior has thrown for 646 yards (50-of-93), three touchdowns and one interception. Given Tulane's hesitancy to name him the starter in Week 6, Semonza may have a shorter leash in the contest.

Antwaun Parham - Out Saturday Parham (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Army, per the AAC availability report.

Impact Parham, who has not played yet this season, is out for Saturday's road trip. His next chance to suit up is next Friday versus Memphis.

Ty Thompson - Ruled out Saturday Thompson (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game at Army, per the AAC availability report.

Impact Thompson, who has not played since Week 2, has been ruled out for Saturday's road trip. It's still unclear what injury he is dealing with. He caught two of four targets for eight yards across his first two appearances of the season.

Zycarl Lewis Jr. - Questionable for Saturday Lewis (leg) sports a questionable tag for Saturday's contest versus Army, per the AAC availability report.

Impact Lewis hasn't appeared in a game since the opener, but there's a chance that could change Saturday. The third-year wideout drew a pair of targets and hauled in one pass for 28 yards against Duke in Week 1 before leaving due to injury.

Maurice Turner - Questionable for Week 6 Turner (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game at Army.

Impact It appears that between Tulane's latest and upcoming games, Turner developed an undisclosed issue. He has been more than sufficient in the Green Wave's running game without Jamauri McClure (foot) available, culminating in a Week 4 performance with 12 rushing attempts for 200 yards and two touchdowns against Southern Miss.

Jamauri McClure - Questionable for Week 6 McClure (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game at Army.

Impact Even with the benefit of a bye week, McClure's foot has not quickly healed to the point that Tulane can comfortably rule him available for Week 6 against a run-heavy Army. The running back is looking for his first counting stats this season and engaging in a battle of the running game would be an opportune time for him to return.

Anthony Brown-Stephens - Reels in touchdown catch in victory Brown-Stephens tallied five receptions (on 14 targets) for 85 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-21 victory versus Southern Miss.

Impact Brown-Stephens finally broke through as a reliable target Saturday, hauling in a team-high five receptions for 85 yards. He also pulled in a 47-yard touchdown to put Tulane on the scoreboard. Coming off a 2025 campaign where he tallied 41 receptions for 523 yards and two touchdowns with the Green Wave, he was expected to step into the role of lead wideout this season, and Saturday's performance was a big step toward making that case.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Maurice Turner - Dominant performance on ground Turner logged 12 rushes for 200 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in their only target for six yards during Saturday's 24-21 victory over Southern Miss.

Impact Tulane's offense needed a boost, and Turner delivered, accounting for two rushing scores, including a 74-yard touchdown that eventually proved to be the decisive score. The running back had a breakout game after recording just 77 yards through the first three contests. His 200 rushing yards are a career high, and he's already on pace to surpass his previous single-season best of 284 yards. Jamauri McClure (foot) was sidelined once again, paving the way for Turner's expanded workload, though his role will likely face questions once McClure returns.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Trace Johnson - Steps in off bench to secure win Johnson completed 2 of 5 passes for 35 yards during Saturday's 24-21 victory over Southern Miss.

Impact Johnson relieved starting quarterback Kadin Semonza after he threw a crucial interception in the fourth quarter. The signal-caller stepped in and led the team to secure its second win of the season. He had limited passing attempts due to the ground attack doing most of the work, but still managed to close out the victory. It's worth noting that Johnson was the backup, which is surprising since Zeon Chriss-Gremillion was expected to hold that role after starting under center to begin the season. It's uncertain whether his performance earned him the starting job, though it may be unlikely given his limited workload. An upcoming bye gives Johnson an opportunity to potentially compete for the gig during practice and impress head coach Will Hall.

Kadin Semonza - Benched late against Southern Miss Semonza was 12-for-24 passing for 129 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 24-21 victory against Southern Miss. He also had five rushes for -17 yards.

Impact Semonza struggled mightily Saturday, and after beginning the fourth quarter with an interception, he was benched in favor of Trace Johnson, who eventually led the team to a win. The quarterback completed only 50 percent of his passes and threw for a season-low 129 yards. His struggles against the Golden Eagles' secondary are concerning, especially considering the schedule ahead doesn't get any easier. While there's no official report on whether he has lost his starting job, it's possible head coach Will Hall was just looking for a spark to jump-start the offense. Semonza and the Green Wave now head into a bye week, giving Hall plenty of time to weigh his options under center.

Jamauri McClure - Out once again McClure (foot) is out for Saturday's matchup against Southern Mississippi, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.

Impact McClure will miss yet another game for the Green Wave, marking his fourth straight missed contest to start the 2026 season due to a foot injury. The 5-foot-10 running back will be hoping to use the team's upcoming bye week to progress through his recovery in time for a return against Army on October 10.

Maurice Turner - Finds end zone in defeat Turner compiled seven rushes for 64 yards and caught 2 of 4 targets for 31 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-20 loss to Kansas State.

Impact Turner paced Tulane's backfield with a team-high 64 yards as Jaylin Lucas struggled on the ground. The running back also hauled in a 22-yard catch for his first career receiving touchdown, marking his first touchdown overall since 2024. He was able to see extended snaps because Jamauri McClure (foot) was sidelined once again, though when McClure returns, Turner will likely see a reduction in carries.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jaylin Lucas - Stifled in backfield Lucas tallied four carries for negative two yards and hauled in all three targets for five yards during Saturday's 31-20 loss to Kansas State.

Impact It was a forgettable game for Lucas after a dominant performance against South Alabama in Week 2. He was the first running back to take the field for the Green Wave, but he couldn't find any holes to break free, ending the contest with negative yardage. Jamauri McClure (foot) continues to sit out, though reports indicate a return is near, meaning Lucas' opportunities are slimming down to showcase why he should split touches with the returning starter.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Kadin Semonza - Accounts for two scores in loss Semonza completed 13 of 26 passes for 165 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-20 defeat to Kansas State. He also had 10 rushes for -27 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Semonza earned another start after leading Tulane to its first win of the season last week, though he couldn't replicate that success versus Kansas State on Saturday. It wasn't an efficient day through the air, but he bolstered his performance by rushing for a 9-yard touchdown along with tossing a late 25-yard scoring pass. The quarterback avoided committing any turnovers and will aim to prepare against Southern Mississippi in Week 4.
