Mission Viejo, California – Trey Kukuk, a standout quarterback from Saddleback College, has officially committed to play for Louisiana Tech beginning in the 2025 season. Kukuk made headlines last season with an impressive performance, recording 2,379 yards in passing, alongside 27 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, with a completion rate of nearly 70%.

Kukuk’s talent as a dual-threat quarterback provides Louisiana Tech with a versatile addition to their roster, enhancing their offensive strategy as they prepare to improve their performance on the field.

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs had a tough 2024 season, finishing with a 5-8 record, marking their fourth consecutive losing season. With the aim of bouncing back in 2025, the Bulldogs are looking to Kukuk to make a significant impact as the starting quarterback. Their season opener is scheduled against Southeastern Louisiana at 6:30 p.m. at Joe Aillet Stadium.

In addition to Kukuk’s commitment, several key players are set to return for the Bulldogs, including Omiri Wiggins, Hayden Christman, Kolbe Fields, and Jacob Fields. These athletes will be crucial in helping the team regain its competitive edge.

In parallel developments in collegiate football, Kukuk’s teammate at Saddleback College, Jack Pankey, has also made a commitment, choosing to play for Colorado Mesa. This move is part of a wider recruiting effort at Colorado Mesa, which has recently received commitments from at least 22 athletes since December. Other notable commitments include Andreas Distel, a long snapper from Montrose High School, recognized as a first-team All-Class 4A selection, and defensive lineman Jack Francis from Cherry Creek.

Furthermore, Jalen Hankins, a running back from Bakersfield College, has also decided to join Colorado Mesa after showcasing impressive skills during the 2024 season. The Mavericks are focusing their recruiting efforts on acquiring talent in offensive and defensive linemen, athletes, receivers, and defensive backs from a variety of high schools.

Despite the active recruitment drive at Colorado Mesa, three athletes received offers from the program but chose to commit elsewhere. Looking ahead, National Signing Day is approaching, scheduled for February 5, 2025, giving athletes across the nation a platform to finalize their collegiate destinations.

The upcoming season for both Louisiana Tech and Colorado Mesa presents opportunities for growth and strengthening their football programs. As Kukuk steps into his role with the Bulldogs, he represents hope for a turnaround in team performance as they aim to elevate their status after years of struggle.
