Former New Mexico WR Luke Wysong commits to Arizona, first transfer pickup for Wildcats

The NCAA transfer portal had been a one-way street to this point for Arizona, with 30 members of the 2024 roster entering since Monday. But on Friday the door finally swung the other direction.

Former New Mexico wide receiver Luke Wysong has committed to the Wildcats, becoming the first transfer pickup of what should be quite a few to help fill out the 2025 roster.

The 5-foot-10, 184-pound Wysong comes to Arizona with one season of eligibility remaining. In four years with New Mexico he caught 134 passes for 1,465 yards and three touchdowns, with 2024 being his biggest season with 69 catches for 840 yards and a TD.

That score came at Arizona, when he had eight receptions for 129 yards in the UA’s 61-39 win over New Mexico to mark the coaching debut of Brent Brennan.

Wide receiver is a major position of need for the Wildcats, who say goodbye to school career yardage record holder Tetairoa McMillan. McMillan declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday after recording 3,423 receiving yards in three seasons including 1,319 in 2024, accounting for 44.3 percent of the passing production.

Also gone is Montana Lemonious-Craig, who had 45 catches and made 15 starts the past two seasons, while fellow receivers Reymello Murphy, AJ Jones, Malachi Riley and Jackson Holman have gone into the portal.

Wysong was part of a New Mexico offense that ranked fourth in FBS in yards per game (484.3) in 2024. The Lobos, who went 5-7, have lost their head coach to Utah State and both their offensive coordinator and standout quarterback Devon Dampier to Utah, while 1,000-yard rusher Eli Sanders is also in the portal and recently visited Arizona.

New Mexico Gov. calls for special session regarding SNAP benefits on Nov. 10

New Mexico Gov. calls for special session regarding SNAP benefits on Nov. 10

SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced on Thursday afternoon that she is calling a special legislative session to extend state-funded food benefits back to New Mexicans. This session on Monday, Nov. 10 at the State Capitol in Santa Fe is expected to last one day.

The session is happening 10 days after the governor released $30 million in emergency state funding to New Mexico residents using SNAP. This funding will run out on Monday, according to the governor’s office.

House Republican Leader Gail Armstrong issued this statement in response to the special session:

“We are being called into another special session because Senators Luján and Heinrich are refusing to fund SNAP benefits for the neediest New Mexicans. I would much prefer the Governor use her authority and influence to urge our Senate delegation to end this crisis by voting to reopen the federal government. Instead, they are holding vulnerable New Mexicans hostage for political leverage. The people of this state deserve more than the costly and dangerous political games Senators Luján and Heinrich continue to play.”

Lt. Gov. Howie Morales is expected to serve as acting governor during the special session, while Gov. Grisham attends the U.N. Climate Change Conference.
