BROWN NEARING 1,000 MARK, SETS CU SEASON TD RECORD
With 964 receiving yards on the season, Campbell wide out
Sincere Brown is on pace to reach the 1,000 mark. The Charleston, S.C. native would be just the third Camel to log 1,000 receiving yards in a season, joining
Caleb Snead (1,067 in 2021) and Aaron Blockmon (1,038 in 2016). He currently sits third on the Campbell single season receiving yards list.
Against Richmond, Brown broke the tie with Blockmon and Snead for the single season receiving touchdowns record, and now has 11 on the year.
CAMELS NEAR PASSING TOUCHDOWNS RECORD
With 23 passing touchdowns on the year, Campbell sits just behind the program single-season record of 24, registered in 2021. This is the fourth time the Camels have tallied 20 or more passing touchdowns in a season all-time (21 in 2017, 20 in 2023).
CAMELS SCHEDULE AMONG FCS' TOUGHEST
In its second season in the Coastal Athletic Conference, Campbell again faces one of the toughest schedules in the FCS, ranking No. 10 according to NCAA.org.
Richmond marked Campbell's third ranked opponent of the season, going 1-2 on the year against top-25 foes. The Spiders were also CU's eighth opponent this season that either is currently or has been ranked in the top-25, including Liberty (FBS). Delaware, now at 9-1 overall and 6-1 in CAA play is not ranked due to its move to the FBS next season. Southern Illinois holds the FCS' toughest road, while North Carolina A&T is playing the most difficult schedule in the CAA, ranking fifth overall.
BROOKS HITS CENTURY MARK
In his first season as a Camel, linebacker
Jalen Brooks has become just the third Campbell defender to reach 100 or more tackles in a season, heading into the 2024 finale with 105 stops. Brooks is just shy of Justice Galloway-Velasquez' single season total stops record of 111, set in 2019. Jack Ryan also posted 103 tackles in 2017.
Brooks notched a game-high 12 tackles and added a forced fumble and a pass breakup at Delaware, reaching double figure tackles for the third time this season.
WILKINS BIG DAY AT DELAWARE
VJ Wilkins gathered five catches for a career-high 172 yards with two touchdowns for the Camels at Delaware. Wilkins hauled in TD passes of 75 and 66 yards in Saturday's first half. It was the third time this season that a Camel has tallied two 50 or more yard scores in the same game, and fifth time in program history.
