Beginning season as backup Kukuk will not begin the 2026 season as Louisiana Tech's starting quarterback, Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader reports.

Impact Kukuk had the chance to log first-team reps in the spring with Blake Baker still working back from a torn ACL, but Baker will ultimately be the QB1 for the Bulldogs. With that being said, Kukuk's chances at seeing the field this season aren't null. The 6-foot-1 senior will be ready to go, pending an injury or unsatisfactory play by Baker.

Will log first-team reps Kukuk will log first-team reps Louisiana Tech's spring camp, Matt Belinson of the Ruston Daily Leader reports.

Impact Blake Baker (knee) remains out, so Kukuk is still Louisiana Tech's best-available quarterback. During 2025, he logged more than 1,000 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns. Using his feet, Kukuk recorded 98 rushing attempts for 609 yards and five TDs.

Impact Kukuk struggled a bit as a passer, but he was dynamic with his legs, rushing for over 120 yards in his third straight game. The junior quarterback clearly has some developing to do in regards to throwing the football, but he's proven he's a dynamic athlete and that should continue to earn him opportunities, at Louisiana Tech or elsewhere.

Runs all over Bears Kukuk went 8-for-13 for 87 yards against Missouri State on Saturday. However, he also ran 16 times for 172 yards and three scores.

Impact Kudos to Louisiana Tech and Kukuk. With the third-string quarterback under center, the Bulldogs won two games to finish the regular season 7-5. The guys who were ahead of Kukuk are both out for the season, so he will get the call in the bowl game. Expect a lot of running the ball.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Big day on the ground Kukuk went 13-for-20 for 118 yards, but also ran 19 times for 143 yards and two touchdowns, Saturday against Liberty.

Impact Kukuk started the year as the third-string quarterback, but was elevated to starter owing to two season-ending injuries ahead of him. Clearly, you can see from these numbers were his strength lies. His job is to throw it reasonably well and then contribute in the running game, so expect to see that next week against Missouri State.

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

To serve as starter Kukuk will start Saturday's game against Liberty, Bleed Tech Blue reports.

Impact Kukuk, a third-string quarterback just a few weeks ago, will step into a starting role after Evan Bullock (undisclosed) was ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Starter Blake Baker also sustained a season-ending injury in November. Kukuk has some rushing upside, but he hasn't shown much promise as a passer.

NOVEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Does a bit on the ground Kukuk went 5-for-8 for 24 yards and an interception and ran nine times for 39 yards against Wazzu on Saturday.

Impact Kukuk and Evan Bullock split time under center with Blake Baker (knee) done for the season. Neither threw the ball well, but Kukuk's 39 rushing yards outpaced Bullock's 36 passing yards, so he probably has the edge coming into the final two games. Important games, to be noted, because the Bulldogs are one win away from bowl eligibility.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Backing up Bullock Kukuk isn't starting Saturday's game against Washington State, Cougfan.com reports.

Impact Kukuk shared playing time with Evan Bullock last week after starting QB Blake Baker (knee) went down with a season-ending injury. However, Louisiana Tech has opted for Bullock under center to start Saturday's game. Considering they split work previously, it wouldn't be shocking if Bullock yielded some work to Kukuk.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees action against Delaware Kukuk went 3-for-3 for 66 yards and ran nine times for 28 yards against Delaware on Saturday.

Impact After Blake Baker left the game, both Evan Bullock and Kukuk saw time under center. Bullock played more, but Kukuk played better. If Baker is out against Wazzu next week, maybe Kukuk gets the shot to start.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy but not starting Thursday Kukuk is available but did not start Thursday's game at Kennesaw State, Kai Millette of The Sentinel reports.

Impact Kukuk, who was officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest, is reportedly available for the game after a multi-week absence following his injury in Week 3. Blake Baker took over the starting job in Kukuk's absence and is keeping the job for now despite Kukuk now being available.
