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.

Javion Kinnard - Signs with San Diego State Kinnard will transfer to San Diego State, the program announced.
Impact Kinnard spent the 2025 season with Colorado State, rushing for 56 yards on 12 carries while catching 18 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown. That was his true freshman year; he'll have three seasons of eligibility remaining with the Aztecs.

JANUARY 1 • Associated Press
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.
DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Lucky Sutton - Rare non-TD game Sutton accrued 15 carries for 60 yards and gathered in their only target for eight yards during Saturday's 49-47 defeat to North Texas.
Impact During 2025, Sutton logged at least one touchdown eight times across San Diego State's 13 games. He scored 10 TDs with 252 rushing attempts for 1,292 yards, all career-highs. It is safe to say that Sutton easily had one of the best 2025 breakouts, and he enters 2026 as one of college football's better running backs should another year be up for use.
DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Bert Emanuel Jr. - Quiet in start Emanuel completed 4 of 7 passes for 37 yards during Saturday's 49-47 loss against North Texas. He also had 11 rushes for 170 yards with two touchdowns.
Impact Emanuel got the start for the Aztecs, but only threw seven passes. He did, however, run wild in the narrow loss to North Texas, with 170 yards and two scores on 11 carries. Meanwhile, it was Kyle Crum who handled the passing for San Diego State, and he completed 14-of-29 passes for 169 yards and a score. Emanuel was hardly involved in his first year with San Diego State, and he'll have one season of eligibility remaining.
DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Washington - Another touchdown to 2025 Washington totaled 10 rushes for 77 yards and one touchdown and gathered in all four targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 49-47 loss against North Texas.
Impact Washington's last three games include two rushing touchdowns, which double his total tally of four across 2025. The running back logged them on 97 carries for 560 yards, a career-high.
DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Crum - First game in three years Crum completed 14 of 29 passes for 169 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 49-47 loss against North Texas. He also had eight rushes for 21 yards with two t...
Impact Prior to San Diego State's bowl game, the last time SDSU used Crum was in 2022. Fast-forward three years, and with him still part of the Aztecs, they used him in place of an injured Jayden Denegal (shoulder). Crum's in-game rust showed as he logged more interceptions than passing touchdowns. Still, Crum scored thrice, a positive development that seemed far out of the question earlier in 2025.

New Mexico Bowl pits No. 23 North Texas against San Diego State

Not too long ago, it appeared Saturday’s New Mexico Bowl, pitting No. 23 North Texas against San Diego State, would be all about quarterback uncertainty
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • Associated Press
Bert Emanuel Jr. - Will start in bowl game Saturday Emanuel (undisclosed) will start in the New Mexico Bowl against North Texas on Saturday, Kirk Kenney of The Press-Enterprise.
Impact Emanuel will get the nod under center after Jayden Denegal (shoulder) was ruled out following surgery. Emanuel, a junior signal-caller, appeared in 10 games for the Aztecs in 2025, completing five of nine passes for 27 yards and adding 21 rushes for 104 yards.
DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jayden Denegal - Undergoes surgery Denegal underwent left shoulder surgery Wednesday and won't play in the New Mexico Bowl against North Texas on Saturday, Kirk Kenney of The Press-Enterprise.
Impact Denegal suffered the injury in the season opener but played with a protective harness the rest of the way, and he ended up suiting up in every game for the Aztecs in 2025. He completed 58.6 percent of his passes for 1,811 yards while posting a 9:8 TD:INT in 12 outings. This means Bert Emanuel will get the nod under center to face the Mean Green.
