After a week of watching players enter the transfer portal, the Wildcats are finally pulling one out for themselves. On Friday, New Mexico wide receiver transfer Luke Wysong committed to Arizona, he announced via social media.
The 5-foot-10, 184-pound Wysong has one year of eligibility remaining. In his four seasons at New Mexico, Wysong appeared in 37 games, including 25 starts, and hauled in 134 receptions for 1,465 yards and three touchdowns. His best season came in 2024, when he finished with 69 receptions for 840 yards and a score.
That lone touchdown this season came in Brent Brennan’s Arizona head coaching debut, when he had eight receptions for 129 yards in the Wildcats’ 61-39 win over New Mexico in Tucson.
Wide receiver is a position of need for the Wildcats, after projected first-round pick and the program’s all-time leading receiver Tetairoa McMillan declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday. Montana Lemonious-Craig has exhausted his eligibility, and Arizona has also lost receivers A.J. Jones, Malachi Riley, Reymello Murphy, and Jackson Holman to the transfer portal. With Luke Wysong committed to Arizona, the Wildcats can now set their sights on adding an outside threat at wide receiver from the portal.
Wysong was a part of a Lobos’ offense that ranked fourth in FBS in yards per game (484.2) in 2024. New Mexico averaged 6.87 yards per play, and put together over 5,800 yards of total offense this season.
