07/18/21 - Dequan Finn, rSr/2026, Miami (OH), 6-1, 201 (DS#40 QB) + More +

For the University of Toledo, a trip to Ford Field and the Mid-American Conference championship game hinges on the arm of whoever head coach Jason Candle and quarterbacks coach Robert Weiner tab as the starting quarterback. Dequan Finn, a third-year sophomore, is one of four quarterbacks hoping to take August by storm and lead the Rocket offense onto the field for their first snap against Norfolk State Sept. 4. "I've always appreciated Dequan's work ethic," Candle said. "He has a really good understanding that that position takes more effort. It takes more commitment. It takes more work, so to speak, when the lights aren't on you and you aren't at practice. He's always understood that and always been good at that."

His summer schedule is proof. Finn worked out with teammates at UT, improving his timing with wide receivers, and then drove north to a personal trainer in Detroit. He wants the chemistry to become second nature so crucial third-down plays can be made with ease. "It's been a focused summer," Finn said. "I've worked on what I need to do to become the starter - mechanics, recognizing defenses, making sure I'm better every day, and being mentally and physically prepared." - Toledo Blade

04/01/21 - Miles Marshall, rSr/2024, Miami (OH), 6-2, 205 (DS#247 WR) + More +

Redshirt junior receiver Miles Marshall has made steady progress in each of his first two active seasons at Indiana. This season, Marshall could take on an even more significant role in IU's offense. With senior Whop Philyor departed for the NFL draft, Marshall will enter the 2021 season as the second-most experienced receiver on the roster, behind just senior Ty Fryfogle. "I hope my role increases, but that's up to me," Marshall said following IU's ninth spring practice Tuesday. "I've got to keep working hard. I've got to keep getting faster. I've got to work on my hands. I've got to work on my releases, and I've got to become a better player to do the things I want to do. My goal is to end up in the NFL, so I've got a couple of more years left to achieve that goal." Marshall has posted 35 catches for 486 yards and two TDs in his career, including 19 catches for 290 yards and one TD last season. Marshall's highlight catch last year was a 68-yard grab on a fly route against Big Ten champion Ohio State. IU receivers coach Grant Heard is looking for the 6-foot-4, 212-pound Marshall to play more physical this season. - Herald Bulletin

Only two Purdue running backs have rushing attempts this season through the first three games. Zander Horvath. King Doerue. Horvath has 53 carries, Doerue has one due to missing the first two games because of an injury.

Downing, who rushed for 1,092 yards and 12 touchdowns as a senior for the Greyhounds, will start his Purdue career as a walk-on. Downing was a freshman at UNLV this season and played in the first two games before entering the NCAA transfer portal. He gained eight yards on three rushing attempts. - Journal and Courier
