Fifth-year senior wide receiver Luke Floriea has been Kent State’s best offensive playmaker through the last year and change.
So far this 2024 season, he leads the Golden Flash offense with 15 receptions for 209 yards and two touchdowns. He also leads Kent State in receiving yards per game with an average of 69.6 yards per game. Now that might not seem like much, but he is far and away the best player on the field for the Kent State offense.
Junior defensive end Kameron Olds has been one of the leaders for the Kent State defense this season, making the move from Buffalo via the Transfer Portal.
Overall the Golden Flash defense has really struggled, but Olds made an immediate impact for them, recording 14 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and three sacks on the year so far.
Olds will be the main challenge for the Penn State offensive line room, which has been up and down across the board so far this season, but overall they've been solid for the most part.
The other name to know for Kent State on offense is junior quarterback Devin Kargman.
He only made one start last season, but played well against Northern Illinois. However the team as a whole has struggled through their first three games of the season. In his first three games, Kargman is completing just 55.6% of his passes for total of 432 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.
One reason for Kent State’s offensive struggles is their lack of a ground game, which puts more pressure on Kargman and the passing attack.
