Was announced today that former Duck Luke Moga has left the portal for a landing spot at New Mexico.

29 Ducks, scholarship or walk-on, entered the portal. All 29 have found landing spots with 23 ending up at Power4 programs.

New Mexico has starter Jack Layne expected to return at quarterback. The 2025 season saw New Mexico open with a close loss at Michigan, beat UCLA at the Rose Bowl, and finished their 9-4 season with a close overtime loss to Minnesota in a bowl game.

Duck QB Austin Novosad entered the portal and ended up at Bowling Green.

Jason Eck, formerly at Idaho, was in his first season at New Mexico. Assisted by O-coordinator Luke Schleusner a long time assistant.

As an aside, former Duck staffer David Yost is the O-coordinator at New Mexico State.

Novasad to Bowling Green..Did he get lost on the way to U of Kentucky to see Will Stein?

Guess he wasn't that great based on Stein's assessment.

It's pretty impressive to see the depth we HAD leave in the portal. I sure hope our 2026 class of portal and HS kids can backfill them.

That’s football in 2026. Neither of these QBs are guaranteed to even start at Bowling Green or New Mexico, or even backup at a good P4.
