01/01/23 - Jamal Turner, rSr/2023, Toledo + More +

University of Toledo tight end Jamal Turner announced on Wednesday via his Twitter account he will be entering the NFL draft. Turner, at 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, caught 29 passes for 378 yards and eight touchdowns for the Rockets this past season. He had a season high of 89 yards in the season opener against Long Island, scoring on a 69-yard pass from Dequan Finn. Turner had three catches for 53 yards in his final game for Toledo, a 21-19 win over Liberty in the Boca Raton Bowl on Dec. 20. Turner has played in 50 career games at UT since the 2018 season, totaling 577 yards and nine touchdowns on 46 catches. - Toledo Blade

12/20/22 - Dequan Finn, rJr/2025, Toledo + More +

Dequan Finn passed for 133 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score to lead Toledo past Liberty 21-19 in the rainy Boca Raton Bowl Tuesday night. Toledo came from behind, then fended off Liberty, handing the Flames their first loss in a bowl game after three bowl victories. Liberty (8-5) was directed by interim coach Josh Aldridge, who stepped in for Hugh Freeze, who became the head coach at Auburn at the end of the regular season. Toledo (9-5) punctuated a successful season that included winning the Mid-Atlantic Conference title with its first bowl victory since 2015.

Liberty scored twice in a five-minute span of the fourth quarter, turning a 21-7 deficit into a two-point game. Kaidon Salter hit Treon Sibley with a 29-yard scoring pass at 7:24 of the period to make it 21-13 and CJ Daniels found Bentley Hanshaw with a 67-yard scoring strike to close the game to two points. But, Liberty's 2-point conversion try failed and Toledo held on for the final 3:40 Finn was just as dangerous offensively as he had been all season, when he led the Mid-American Conference with 30 total TDs. Finn guided Toledo's offense 75 yards on the opening drive of the second half to give the Rockets their first lead of the game, 10-7, and they led the rest of the way. Lenny Khule's 4-yard TD reception capped the drive and was his third TD of the season. Finn's 1-yard rushing score in the fourth gave Toledo a 21-7 lead. - Toledo/AP College Football

12/20/22 - Desjuan Johnson, rSr/2023, Toledo + More +

No one knew for sure how opting out would evolve when former Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey decided he would skip the 2016 Sun Bowl. It's lost to history, but McCaffrey was criticized by the media, fans, players, and coaches for his decision. Six short years later, opting out has not only become commonplace, it's now an accepted part of bowl season. Even the College Football Playoff and Rose Bowl aren't immune. The Boca Raton Bowl is a different story, though. Desjuan Johnson, Dyontae Johnson, and Jamal Hines aren't risking first-round status, but all three said that sitting out Tuesday's game against Liberty is unthinkable.

"If I start something, I'm going to finish it," defensive tackle Desjuan Johnson said. "There's still more out there for me. There's always room to get better and improve your technique. This is a good matchup for me to get better. I'm not where I feel like I need to be." "The love and dedication I have for these guys, I promised these guys that I was going to finish everything out with them," linebacker Dyontae Johnson said. "The bond I have with these guys, I wouldn't leave them like that." "That thought never crossed my mind because I have one more opportunity to play with my guys," said Hines, an edge rusher. "After this game, I won't play another game with Toledo across my chest." Dozens of players have opted out of bowl games this season, with more names almost certainly to be revealed. It's a business decision that is understood and no longer begrudged but still hard to comprehend in a sport as competitive as football and one that espouses brotherhood 365 days a year. - Toledo Blade

2022 WALTER CAMP SECOND TEAM ALL-AMERICAN: DB Quinyon Mitchell, Toledo,...Mitchell is the nation's leader in passes defended with 25 (five interceptions, 20 pass breakups). His 20 breakups is the all-time Toledo record, breaking mark of 16 set by current San Francisco 49er Samuel Womack last year. He had three pass breakups in Toledo's 17-7 win over Ohio in the MAC Championship Game on Dec. 3. Earlier this season, Mitchell was named the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week by the FWAA for his record-breaking performance vs. Northern Illinois on Oct. 8. Mitchell grabbed four interceptions against NIU, returning two for touchdowns in the 52-32 win in DeKalb.

He collected three interceptions in the first half, the first of which he returned for a 25-yard pick six to put Toledo ahead 14-0 in the first quarter. He also returned his second interception for a touchdown, and his third pick came in the final seconds of the second quarter in NIU's end zone. Mitchell's final interception of the game came on Northern Illinois' opening drive of the second half. The four interceptions were the first four of Mitchell's career, tied the school record set back in 1950, and was the first time a Rocket had two pick sixes in one game. The Toledo standard of four interceptions in a game was set by Jerry Palmer vs. Western Reserve in 1950. Mitchell is the only FBS player since 2000 with four INTs and two pick-sixes in a game. The NCAA record for interceptions is five, held by four players, most recently Dan Rebsch of Miami (Ohio) vs. Western Michigan in 1972. - Toledo Football

12/03/22 - Dequan Finn, rJr/2025, Toledo + More +

Dequan Finn passed for a touchdown and rushed for 86 yards on 18 carries as Toledo captured its first Mid-American Conference championship since 2017 by defeating Ohio 17-7 on Saturday afternoon. Finn completed 16 of 25 passes for 154 yards. Jacquez Stuart rushed for 93 yards on nine carries, including a 29-yard touchdown. Micah Kelly added 53 rushing yards for the Rockets (8-5), who lost their last two conference games. Toledo is headed to a bowl game but since the MAC doesn't have a postseason pecking order, its destination is unknown. The Arizona, Idaho Potato and Quick Lane bowls - the latter also at Detroit's Ford Field - are the most likely possibilities. Sieh Bangura rushed for 56 yards on 20 carries and the lone touchdown for the Bobcats (9-4), whose seven-game winning streak was snapped. CJ Harris completed 17 of 31 passes for 163 yards and was intercepted once.

Harris was making his second start since MAC Player of the Year Kurtis Rourke suffered a season-ending knee injury. Ohio is 0-5 in the MAC title game. The Rockets led 10-7 at halftime. They drove 75 yards after the opening kickoff with Stuart scoring on his 29-yard run up the middle. Ohio tied it on Bangura's 2-yard run midway through the second quarter, finishing off an 84-yard drive. Toledo's Thomas Cluckey kicked a 44-yard field goal with 16 seconds left in the half. The Rockets drove to the Bobcats' 10 midway through the third quarter but passed up a field goal attempt and turned the ball over on downs. Finn's 16-yard scoring pass to Demeer Blankumsee completed a methodical 16-play, 90-yard drive that gave Toledo a 17-7 lead with 10:36 remaining. - Toledo/AP College Football
