A second former Oregon Ducks quarterback has found a new home via the transfer portal, as Luke Moga has signed with New Mexico. On3’s Pete Nakos and Hayes Fawcett first reported the news. Moga joined former Oregon passer Austin Novosad in the portal, as he signed with Bowling Green earlier this month.
Moga was a three-star prospect and ranked as the No. 61 quarterback in the 2024 class coming out of Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix, AZ, per 247 Sports.
The 6-foot-2, 204-pound passer didn’t appear in a game as a true freshman, utilizing a redshirt. He saw action in three games in 2025, completing three of five passes for 58 yards and carrying the ball three times for 49 yards. Moga’s top performance came in the Ducks‘ 69-3 victory over Oklahoma State, as he finished with 53 passing yards and 22 rushing yards.
He also excelled in track during high school, recording a 10.4-second time in the 100-meter dash.
Moga performed well during Oregon’s 2025 spring game, but failed to see sustained time on the field this season.

The former three-star will now join a New Mexico squad that finished 2025 with a 9-4 record and finished in a four-way tie for first place in the Mountain West during the regular season.
Quarterback Jack Layne started for the Lobos last season, throwing for 2,486 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while rushing for four scores. He is expected back next season, but Moga’s arrival could create an offseason quarterback competition.
Moga will have either three or four years of eligibility remaining depending on on if his medical redshirt is accepted.
