Buzz vs Tape
There's real chatter about him this season — just not enough of his own fan discourse yet to measure it against anything.
Chase Sowell
Beats you over the top. Across four seasons and three programs, three head coaches: Mike Sanford Jr., Mike Houston and Matt Campbell. In 2024 the league put his name on paper for the first time: All-AAC. The receipt: 146 rec yds, 4 receptions against Arizona — Week 5, 2025.
