Devin Neal accrued 10 rushes for 106 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday’s 49-16 win versus Cincinnati.

Neal logged his sixth 100-yard rushing game of the season and his fifth straight game with at least one touchdown. He’s been Kansas’ best offensive player with 1,423 total yards and 16 total touchdowns. Not many players in college football have back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Neal will finish the year in a bowl game and will then have a tough decision on whether he wants to play on Sundays early.

Jayden Maiava announced his decision to stay with UNLV for the 2024 season, Andy Yamashita of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Maiava was expected to enter the transfer portal, but instead, he has decided to stay with the Rebels for another season. The Mountain West Freshman of the Year developed a strong rapport with wideout Ricky White as the season progressed, and he should remain the starter under center next season. Maiava made 13 appearances for the Rebels in 2024, completing 200 of his 318 passes for 2,794 yards, 14 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
