Brendon Lewis era is over for Nevada football

The Wolf Pack will have a new starting quarterback next season.

Brendon Lewis, who has played the majority of snaps the past two seasons, has committed to play football for Memphis next year.

Lewis played in 24 games at Nevada, completing 342 passes on 548 attempts for 3,603 yards, 18 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He finishes his Wolf Pack career with a QB rating of 123.7.

Lewis previously played for the University of Colorado Buffaloes from 2020 to 2022.

His departure leaves two quarterbacks on the Nevada roster for next season who played in 2024 — AJ Bianco and Chubba Purdy — along with incoming freshman Carter Jones, who coach Jeff Choate raved about on signing day Dec. 3.

Lewis’ departure wasn’t the only transfer portal roster change for Nevada. Wolf Pack offensive lineman Isaiah World has committed to Oregon and fellow linemen Tyson Ruffins will play for Stanford, while Josiah Timoteo will move to Oregon State.

The Wolf Pack has added Bryce Echols (6-foot-5, 271 pounds) a defensive lineman who played for Arizona last season and Hadine Diaby (6-3, 300) and offensive lineman who played for Tennessee State

The winter transfer window closes Saturday, Dec. 28. The spring window is set for 10 days, opening April 16 and closing April 25.
