The Rockets return four All-MAC players from last season’s 8-5 squad, plus senior quarterback Tucker Gleason, who threw for 2,808 yards and 24 TDs last season. Gleason’s top target was first-team All-MAC wide receiver Junior Vandeross, who led Toledo with 85 receptions last year. Vandeross also was named the GameAbove Sports Bowl MVP following a 12-reception and 194-yard performance in the Rockets’ 48-46 six-overtime win vs. Pitt.
