Entering transfer portal Pegan plans to enter the transfer portal, Hayes Fawcett of On3.com reports.

Impact Pegan, who's coming off a very productive season with the Aggies, will be looking for a new school this offseason. He caught 60 passes for 925 yards and five touchdowns and will now likely be looking to jump to a bigger program.

Two grabs in loss Pegan tallied two receptions (on 10 targets) for 27 yards during Friday's 25-24 loss against Boise State.

Impact Pegan was targeted often Friday, though he only managed to bring in a pair of receptions, matching his fewest in a game this season. Still, it was a breakout regular season for the junior wideout, who will head into the Aggies' bowl game with 60 receptions (on 97 targets) for 925 yards and five touchdowns.

Good to go for Week 14 Pegan (undisclosed) is available for Friday's game against Boise State.

Impact In the midst of a career year, Pegan has a legitimate chance to finish off his 2025 regular season with four-digit all-purpose yards. He will need a great game against Boise State, but that looks possible, especially considering his overall performances this year. Pegan's current season includes 58 receptions (on 87 targets) for 898 yards and five touchdowns. He also has four carries for another 11 yards, meaning he is just 91 short of four-digit yards in all yards this season.

Questionable for Week 14 Pegan (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against Boise State.

Impact Utah State's availability report suggests that the 2025 Aggies may finish their regular season without Pegan, who broke out during it. With 58 receptions (on 87 targets) for 898 yards and five touchdowns, he has not only proven himself to be a quality option but also one of the Mountain West Conference's best wideouts. Having him available against Boise State is expected to significantly improve the Aggies' chances of playing spoiler against BSU.

Logs 13 targets, 109 yards Pegan hauled in 8 of 13 targets for 109 yards during Saturday's 29-26 overtime defeat against UNLV.

Impact For 2025, 13 is Pegan's season high in targets. Considering that he is a deep option and caught more than 60.0 percent of pass attempts that Bryson Barnes threw to him, the wide receiver logging triple-digit yardage should be unsurprising. This season, Week 12 marks the third time Pegan has recorded more than 100 receiving yards.
