Jaylen Raynor threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns and Kenyon Clay's 1-yard plunge with 42 seconds left capped Arkansas State's 30-29 win over Appalachian State to help the Red Wolves reach bowl eligibility on Saturday. Appalachian State's Dominic De Freitas pushed a 45-yard field goal wide right as time expired. De Freitas finished 5 of 7 on field goal attempts with his longest coming from 48 yards.

De Freitas' 29-yard field goal with 1:42 left gave the Mountaineers a 29-23 lead.

Arkansas State (6-6, 5-3 Sun Belt Conference) promptly moved the ball 75 yards in seven plays in just 52 seconds to set up Clay's score. The big play on the drive came on Raynor's 34-yard completion to Corey Rucker who was carried out by a Mountaineers' defender at the goal line. Chauncey Cobb caught five passes for 117 yards and Rucker had 90 yards on 10 receptions and two touchdowns for the Red Wolves. Kohl threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns and Jaquari Lewis ran for 108 yards on 22 carries for Appalachian State (5-7) who will miss bowl eligibility for only the third time in the last 11 seasons. - Arkansas State/AP College Football

2023 NEC OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: WR Jaylen Bonelli, Wagner, Fr,...Bonelli compiled the fourth-most receiving yards on the circuit in his first season at Wagner. After the speedy 5-foot-10 wideout combined for four catches in Wagner's first three games, he went on to make three-or-more receptions in seven of the Seahawks' final eight contests. He was Wagner's most targeted receiver and he ranked in the loop's top-five with 40 catches, 627 yards and 57.0 receiving yards per game. A native of Cooper City, FL, Bonelli did most of his damage once the slate turned to conference play. All four of his touchdowns came during that seven-game stretch, including a two-score performance in a 28-17 win over Stonehill on Oct. 28.

In NEC games, Bonelli was second in receptions (30), second in touchdowns, third in receiving yards (448) and third in receiving yards per game (64.0). Midway through the season, he became the first Wagner rookie since Joe Kinard 2004 to rack up 100-plus receiving yards in a game with a 104-yard performance against Saint Francis U (Oct. 12). One week later, he accomplished the feat once again and bested that performance by racking up 128 yards against Central Connecticut on Oct. 21. Bonelli's standout play helped lead the Seahawks to their winningest season since 2018. - Northeast Conference Football
