Since 2005, the Lobos have started 9, 11, 9, 7, 7, 6, 7, 5, 9, 9 , 7, 5, 5, 6, 4 and 9 whites. They drop down to 5 this year, although with two talented white WRs. Looks to be 4 in ‘23!
From last years write up:
BIG name here is sophomore WR Luke Wysong. He was the New Mexico Gatorade Player of the Year in BOTH football and track and field, in which he was the 100m and 200m state champ. A big time playmaker who made a big impact as a starter his true freshman year. This guy has serious potential.
Speaking of Gatorade Players of the Year, freshman RB Zach Vigil was the 2021 Gatorade Player of the Year for football in New Mexico, and he could factor into the rotation. Vigil is from the same HS as former RB Josh Foley, another Player of the Year winner, who was a starter at NMSU before transferring to New Mexico and disappearing.
Austin Erickson is the other starting WR. His brother Andrew is a back-up. All three are in-state products
Danny Gonzales running things for another year, we’ll see if he can gain some momentum. Perennial bottom dweller perhaps because they have one of the darkest OL rooms in the country! In freaking New Mexico!
OFFENSE
QB Dylan Hopkins 6’2 215 RSr. *transfer from UAB
WR Luke Wysong 5’10 188 Jr. (Listing him as a starter still even though New Mexico brought in 3 upsider transfers to try and bury him).
TE Magnus Geers 6’6 250 RJr. *Transfer from Temple
DEFENSE
DE Gabriel Lopez 6’3 250 RJr. *transfer from Washington State.
Key backups: QB DC Tabscott, RB Zach Vigil. WRs Austin and Andrew Erickson OL Reese Steele, Arrison Cole.
