Individual Player Stats
Kyle Vantrease is third in the country in passing yards per game, third in passing yards, and second in passing yards per game and has already re-written the school’s record book. He has set the school record already for passing yards in a season, touchdown passes in a season, completions in a season, passing yards in a game and is threatening Sun Belt Conference records as well.
