Run This Town
The Mocs have four runners on pace for 600+ yards in the regular season: RB Justus Durant (690), RB Ryan Ingram (642), QB Camden Orth (633) & RB Journey Wyche (627). The last time the squad had multiple runners over 600 yards for a campaign? 2021 - Ailym Ford (1,071) & Tyrell Price (853). There's never been more than two on record at Chattanooga.
 
Rookie Ready
It usually takes a little time for a true freshman to work their way into significant snaps. First comes proving themselves on special teams and then earning opportunities in a rotational role. Starting, well that requires patience…unless you're KJ Sejour. Sejour stepped into the starting corner role in week two for an injured Taylor Smallwood and hasn't begun to look back. He leads the squad in pass breakups with five. Fellow starting corner Jeremiah Batiste shared the team lead with seven for the season in 2024.
