As new head coach Tony Sanchez takes the reins of New Mexico State football, the Aggies will be adding more help from one of CFB's most storied programs.

Colin Deaver of KTSM in El Paso, Texas reported on Saturday that Notre Dame defensive analyst Ronnie Regula will be hired at NMSU as the new Special Teams Coordinator and Tight Ends Coach.

Regula was previously part of Sanchez' staff at UNLV in 2017 and 2018, then again in 2019. He also has experience as an assistant coach with Tennessee, Miami, and FIU. 

Per Deaver, current Special Teams Coordinator Tyler Wright is being moved into a new role at NMSU. 

Special teams was something of a strong point for the Aggies on their way to a ten-win season and an appearance in the league title game. In 2023, New Mexico State led Conference USA in made field goals with 19, as well as touchbacks with 51.

Sanchez is expected to be formally introduced as the program's newest head coach sometime next week.
