Good: Seth Henigan, QB
With eight touchdowns and over 1,100 yards passing, Henigan has once again set himself on the 3,000-yard trajectory. The big-armed signal-caller has forced a few throws this season, but he’s put his Tigers team in a position to win just about every game this year.
Great: Blake Watson, RB
What can’t Watson do is more likely the best question than what he can do. He leads the team with 342 yards on 5.9 yards per carry and is second on the team with 213 yards through the air, racking up yards in bunches in each game this season.
Grand: DeAgo Brumfield, CB
Blanketing in coverage, Brumfield has ripped off six pass breakups through four games for the Tigers. He’s contested every catch thrown his way and come away victorious more often than not.
Wonderful: Roc Taylor, WR
A walking highlight reel, Taylor has been ultra-impressive this season. He has sure hands and natural routes, making multiple plays all over the field and showing of exceptional catch-point prowess.
