Easton Messer - Reels in TD Messer caught four passes for 69 yards and a touchdown against NMSU on Saturday.
Impact That's back-to-back games with a touchdown for Messer. He's built upon last season well, even if he remains in a secondary role. Through nine games he has four touchdowns, and his 495 yards are more than his 484 from all of last season.

K.D. Hutchinson - Catches TD Hutchinson caught four passes for 73 yards and a score Saturday versus NMSU.
Impact Hutchinson is all-or-nothing, making big splashes or not being involved. He has three games with over 70 yards and a touchdown, and three games where he has not even been targeted.
3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Kisean Johnson - Finds end zone Johnson caught five passes for 88 yards and a touchdown against NMSU on Saturday.
Impact Though the Hilltoppers aren't throwing the ball as much as in the past, Johnson is still putting up numbers like receivers from this team in the past. Through nine games he has 66 targets and has caught 46 passes for 645 yards and five scores.
3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Elijah Young - Rushes for 74 yards Young ran 16 times for 74 yards versus NMSU on Saturday.
Impact Young is a key piece of the WKU offense, but there is one concern here. Though he's rushed for 563 yards and added 247 yards through the air, he has only three touchdowns, and his only rushing scores came against Eastern Kentucky.

Caden Veltkamp - Totals four TDs Veltkamp went 18-for-27 for 246 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against NMSU on Saturday. He also ran 11 times for 25 yards and two scores.
Impact Veltkamp has had some turnover issues, but the WKU staff has tweaked the offense to build around his skills after TJ Finley went down with a leg injury. He doesn't air it out as much, but he still has 19 passing touchdowns and has rushed over over 20 yards five games and has totaled seven run scores.

River Helms - DNP Wednesday Helms (undisclosed) did not play in Wednesday's game against Kennesaw State, per TheTowelRackWKU.substack.com.
Impact Helms was seen on the sideline in street clothes and ruled out of the game prior to kickoff. The reshirt junior tight end suffered an undisclosed injury in last week's game against Sam Houston State and has clearly been unable to shake it thus far. Helms has been a contributor for the Hilltoppers this season, catching 19 passes for 228 yards and a pair of touchdowns through seven games. He will hope to make a quick recovery in order to be available for next Saturday's matchup against New Mexico State.

Kisean Johnson - Nets 64 yards Johnson caught four passes for 64 yards against KSU on Wednesday.
Impact This is better than last time around, when Johnson was held to three catches for 19 yards. Still, he now has been held without a touchdown for three games in a row, and his targets have dropped a bit as well.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Easton Messer - Catches long TD Messer had two catches for 68 yards and a touchdown against KSU on Wednesday.
Impact It was concerning when Messer had only two catches for 16 yards in WKU's last game. Should we be any less worried this week just because one of his two catches became a 64-yard touchdown? The drop in catches, and targets, does not bode well.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
George Hart III - Rushes for TD Hart caught six passes for 36 yards and a score Wednesday versus KSU.
Impact While the Hilltoppers have embraced running the ball more in 2024, that has been mostly handled by Elijah Young and a fairly-mobile quarterback in Caden Veltkamp. To that end, Hart, an Arizona State transfer, has 23 carries all season, which this being his largest workload.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Elijah Young - Rushes for over 100 yards Young ran 15 times for 114 yards and had two catches for 20 yards against KSU on Wednesday.
Impact Western Kentucky's embrace of actually running the ball has been one of the bigger surprises this season, but it has been to Young's benefit. 100-yard games on the ground have been truly rare for the Hilltoppers. Of course, this team does still love to pass the ball, and to that end Young has 26 catches for 247 yards and a touchdown.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Caden Veltkamp - Throws three TDs Veltkamp went 17-for-22 for 276 yards and three touchdowns against KSU on Wednesday. He also ran 10 times for 26 yards.
Impact Veltkamp started the season behind TJ Finley on the depth chart before Finley injured his leg. Well he's now completed 70.4 percent of his passes with 17 touchdowns against five picks, and added 124 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. The Hilltoppers are 6-2, undefeated in conference play, and the favorites to win Conference USA. Even if and when Finley is healthy, this should be Veltkamp's job.
