Just a couple weeks before Christmas, Tyler Kiehne tweeted that he was coming home to play for the University of New Mexico.
Immediately, he felt the love from friends and Lobo football fans, replies and messages congratulating him and saying they’re excited to see him in cherry and silver.
Kiehne, a former Los Lunas standout who transferred from UCLA after one season, said it felt “pretty cool” to receive all the welcome-home messages. In a way, it made him feel that he had made the right choice.
But, in reality, the real confirmation of his decision will come in the fall and thereafter at UNM.
