New Mexico State is still working to add players from the transfer portal for its 2025 season, and coach Tony Sanchez has already secured several who will be crucial to its success.
The Aggies have signed 20 transfers from fellow NCAA programs from the winter and spring portal windows, with potentially more to come. NM State leaned on many transfers to play key roles last season, such as starters like safety Da’Marcus Crosby, running back Mike Washington and defensive tackle Naki Fahina, and will likely need to do so again in 2025.
Reloading after losing players to the portal is the new reality for every Group of Five team, including NM State. But there are incoming transfers to be intrigued by.
Here’s a look at five transfers that could make the biggest impact for the Aggies in 2025:
QB Logan Fife (Montana)
Having been announced as “the guy” for the Aggies’ starting quarterback position by Sanchez, Fife has the biggest impact potential of any NM State transfer.
Fife appeared in all 14 games and made eight starts for a Montana team that reached last season’s FCS playoffs, finishing 2024 with 1,890 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. His most notable performance came in a 384-yard, five-touchdown game against Eastern Washington that earned him Big Sky Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Fife will look to bring balance to an Aggies offense that struggled to pass last season, having played four total quarterbacks that produced Conference USA’s second-worst passing offense. Success from him can bring NM State back to bowl eligibility.
