2026 G6 Fall Camp Report: What We Know Right Now

Kevin looks at the camp reports for the G6.

Fall camp is underway across the Group of Six, and we’re finally starting to get some real answers after an offseason full of depth-chart projections, breakout picks, and speculation.

For this report, we’re doing things a little differently. We’re not going conference by conference or covering every team. Instead, we’re focusing on the G6 programs and individual situations that matter most for College Fantasy Football, Devy, and dynasty managers.

The goal isn’t to react to every positive quote or camp highlight. August is full of hype. We’re looking for the developments that can actually change player values: quarterback battles, running back rotations, emerging target leaders, freshmen pushing for real roles, injuries, and players consistently earning praise or first-team opportunities.

Some teams have multiple situations worth breaking down. Others might only have one player or position battle we need to know about. The focus is simple: find the G6 storylines that could actually matter for fantasy this season and beyond.

Let’s get into the G6 teams and players you need to know coming out of fall camp.

G6

USF

USF has one of the more interesting quarterback battles in the G6 with Michael Van Buren and Luke Kromenhoek competing for the job. Van Buren still looks like the favorite and has been the more comfortable quarterback operating from the pocket, while Kromenhoek brings the stronger arm and more downfield juice. The staff has kept the competition open, but right now I would expect Van Buren to be the first quarterback on the field.

Van Buren also brings a lot more game experience than most G6 quarterbacks. He has already started games at Mississippi State and LSU and has faced high-level competition throughout his career. Kromenhoek is the upside play if he can become more consistent, but Van Buren’s experience and command give him the edge right now. This could still be a situation that carries into the season if neither quarterback completely separates.

The backfield looks like it will be led by D.J. Crowther, with Jason Collins Jr. right behind him. Crowther rushed for 929 yards and 10 touchdowns last season at Dartmouth and has been running with the first team in camp. Collins brings another productive FCS background, while Alvon Isaac gives USF a change-of-pace option who can contribute as a receiver and on special teams. This feels like a deeper rotation, but Crowther is clearly the back I would start with for fantasy.

Receiver is much more crowded. Bryson Rodgers, Arhmad Branch, and Mudia Reuben look like the early starting trio, with Cameron Seldon, Jaron Glover, and Kenny Odom providing experienced depth. Odom is especially interesting after catching 62 passes for 582 yards and six touchdowns at UTEP last season. There is enough talent here that targets could get spread around, which makes this one of the harder rooms to project right now.

Tight end is worth paying attention to because this offense is expected to feature the position heavily. Wyatt Sullivan is the clear starter after leading the room with 18 catches for 176 yards and two touchdowns last season, while Luke Clyburn and Evan Dangler give USF multiple experienced options behind him. If the offense carries over the tight end usage we saw in the spring, Sullivan could become a sneaky G6 CFF option.

For fantasy, Van Buren is the quarterback I would bet on, Crowther is the safest skill-position asset, and Sullivan is the sleeper I am watching. The quarterback battle still needs to officially settle, but USF has added enough experience at running back and receiver to give whoever wins the job a solid supporting cast. Crowther has the clearest path to volume, while the receiver room may take a little longer to sort itself out.
