Cade Mitchell brings a big arm and dual-threat upside to New Mexico
In the 2026 cycle, Cade Mitchell is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound quarterback from Mountainside (Ore.) who arrived at New Mexico as a three-star recruit with an 86.53 industry rating and a reputation for making plays outside structure[13]. He’s been praised for a powerful arm, especially when throwing off-balance, plus the ability to roll out, process multiple reads, and keep defenses honest with his running ability[7][14]. The fit is intriguing: he may not be an immediate starter, but his ceiling is loud enough to make Lobos fans lean in.
