Seth McGowan News, Rumors, Updates - New Mexico State Aggies

Withdrawing from portal McGowan has withdrawn his name from the NCAA transfer portal, per Pete Nakos of On3.com.

Impact McGowan has withdrawn from the portal less than 24 hours after entering and will return to New Mexico State for the 2025 season. The junior running back was a playmaker for the Aggies in 2024, running for 813 yards and three touchdowns on the ground while adding 23 catches for 277 yards and three scores through the air as well.

Leaving New Mexico St. McGowan has decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, Chris Hummer of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact McGowan will depart the Aggies after one year and will look for a fresh start at a different program. The junior running back totaled 153 carries for 813 yards and three touchdowns while reeling in 23 receptions for 277 yards and three scores across 12 appearances during the 2024 campaign.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Catches TD McGowan only ran the ball six times for 29 yards but had three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown against UTEP on Saturday.

Impact McGowan was once a vaunted recruit at Oklahoma. Like, before COVID-19. This was his first season of seeing any real action, and he rushed for 813 yards, had 277 yards receiving, and totaled six touchdowns.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Come up big in passing game McGowan ran 12 times for 83 yards and caught six passes for 96 yards and a score versus MTSU on Saturday.

Impact With how bad MTSU's run defense is, there was intriguing potential for McGowan on the ground. Indeed, he averaged 6.9 yards per carry, but surprised by doing most of his damage through the air, getting himself over 200 receiving yards on the season.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rushes for 75 yards McGowan ran 14 times for 75 yards versus Texas A&M on Saturday.

Impact McGowan was a bright spot for NMSU. He gained 75 yards and averaged 5.4 yards per carry against an SEC team, after all. McGowan should be able to run all over MTSU next week if given an opportunity.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Biggest game of the season McGowan ran 15 times for 113 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 47 yards against WKU on Saturday.

Impact This is McGowan's first 100-yard game of the season, and he got back in the end zone for the first time since NMSU's second game. The former Oklahoma recruit has averaged 5.2 yards per carry, and notably has not fumbled once. While McGowan's next game is against Texas A&M, after that things look good for him.

NOVEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rushes for 65 yards McGowan ran 16 times for 65 yards against FIU on Tuesday.

Impact McGowan hasn't scored a touchdown since the opener against an FCS team, but he and Mike Washington will continue to pace the offense. NMSU's quarterbacks combined to throw for 30 yards and two picks in this game. The team needs to hand the ball off to competent players like McGowan.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Totals over 90 yards McGowan ran 17 times for 66 yards and caught two passes for 25 yards versus La Tech on Tuesday.

Impact On the one hand, McGowan gets the most touches of any NMSU player, he's averaged 5.0 yards per carry, and he's added 89 yards in receiving yards. On the other hand, he hasn't scored a touchdown since NMSU's second game, so the touches have only yielded so much production.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies 58 yards McGowan ran 14 times for 58 yards Wednesday against JSU.

Impact Only once has McGowan failed to notch 50 total yards this season. There is concern in the fact McGowan doesn't have a touchdown since Week 2, but he gets the most touches in this offense, and there are some easy matchups to come.

OCTOBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Totals over 100 yards McGowan ran 10 times for 74 yards and had three catches for 38 yards versus New Mexico on Saturday.

Impact McGowan doesn't have a touchdown in the last three weeks, but he remains the clearest path to success for NMSU's lackluster offense. He's averaged 5.5 yards per carry and has added eight catches for 64 yards and a score. While it's unlikely he's suddenly going to get 25 touches a game, there is at least some upside here.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rushes for 50 yards McGowan ran 12 times for 50 yards and caught one pass for seven yards against SHSU on Saturday.

Impact McGowan has 250 yards on 49 carries through four games and he hasn't fumbled the ball. He's been competent, and he is probably the only player on the NMSU offense you can say that about. It feels like the Aggies have swiftly fallen back into their pre-Jerry Kill misery.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rushes for 47 yards McGowan ran 11 times for 47 yards against Fresno State on Saturday.

Impact For comparison's sake, NMSU totaled 61 yards passing. This offense is struggling heavily in the post-Jerry Kill era. McGowan, a four-star recruit for Oklahoma back in the day, is the most-talented player on this team, and this team has no real hope but to rely on him it would appear.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Catches TD McGowan ran 15 times for 66 yards and caught three passes for 25 yards and a touchdown Saturday versus Liberty.

Impact The Aggies are relying on the run game early, because Parker Awad isn't cutting it at quarterback. McGown, a four-star recruit at Oklahoma forever ago by college standards, seems to have stepped in as the best back NMSU has. Through two games he has averaged 5.9 yards per carry and notched three TDs.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impresses in NMSU debut McGowan ran 11 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns against SE Missouri on Saturday.

Impact McGowan was a four-start recruit for Oklahoma and played well as a freshman, but that was in 2020. After that, serious legal issues put his college career on hold until they settled. Now, four years later, he's back playing, and if he still has four-star skills, he could be one of the best backs in Conference USA.

Impact McGowan put together a solid freshman season for the Sooners, tallying 370 yards and three touchdowns on 6.4 yards-per-carry. He also added 13 catches for 201 yards and a touchdown. The tailback ran into some legal issues after entering the portal, but those appear to be resolved as he's now an Aggie for his sophomore year of college ball.
