Lobo football can only hope portal swings both ways

For the New Mexico Lobos, the transfer-portal dominoes have continued to fall – complicating coach Danny Gonzales’ already daunting task in digging the program out of a 7-24 hole after three seasons at his alma mater.

Such is life for a college football program coming off a 2-10 season in the transfer-portal era.

By Friday evening, Gonzales’ program had lost three of its most productive defensive starters.

Freshman All-America safety A.J. Haulcy’s Twitter declaration Thursday evening was followed an hour-and-a-half later by that of sophomore safety Ronald Wilson.

On Tuesday, defensive end Jake Saltonstall, a senior with a graduate-transfer season available, entered the portal.
