Bert Emanuel Jr. - Moves to wide receiver Emanuel switched to wide receiver during the offseason, Roman Aguilar of The Daily Aztec reports.

Impact Emanuel, who was a backup quarterback last season after spending three seasons as a backup for Central Michigan, has found a new role this offseason. Seeing that he didn't have a chance to start at quarterback, Emanuel and the coaching staff agreed on him moving to the outside. He has shown flashes as a playmaker throughout his career, including two long touchdown runs in last seasons bowl game, and has totaled 1,116 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns over his career. It's a big change for him so it's too early to tell if he will be more of a gadget player or have a more significant role.

Jordan Napier - Still recovering in spring Napier (knee) is still recovering from the knee surgery he underwent in November, per San Diego State Aztecs On SI.

Impact Napier is coming off a career year with the Aztecs, having reeled in 48 catches for 629 yards and two scores last fall. He suffered a season-ending knee injury in November, one that the wideout appears to still be working his way back from. He remains a question mark, but if he can get healthy by the fall, Napier will be a big-time weapon for the Aztecs.

Justius Lowe - Lands at San Diego State Lowe will transfer to San Diego State, per Brandon Huffman of 247Sports.

Impact Lowe had a solid season with Oregon in 2024, catching 21 passes for 203 yards, the first statistics of his collegiate career. However, he fell off in 2025, reeling in just six receptions for 56 yards. The wideout will now take his talents to the Aztecs, where he should have just one more year of eligibility remaining.

Nathan Acevedo - Four catches in loss Acevedo hauled in 4 of 6 targets for 61 yards during Saturday's 49-47 loss versus North Texas.

Impact Acevedo was almost a non-factor in the Aztecs' passing game all season, but he had his best game yet with four catches for 61 yards as San Diego State narrowly fell at the hands of North Texas. It was good to see the Fresno State transfer close out his season on a high note, and he'll look to carry this momentum into his senior year next fall.
