The University of New Mexico football team held its spring showcase Monday night at University Stadium. A few takeaways
- THE FIRST-TEAM DEFENSE, as of Monday:
Zach Morris (cornerback), Donte Martin (cornerback), D’Arco Perkins-McAllister (safety), Bobby Wooden (safety), Christian Ellis (safety), Dion Hunter (linebacker), Dimitri Johnson (linebacker), Mihalis Santorineos (linebacker), Kyler Drake (defensive line), Gabriel Lopez (defensive line), Tyler Kiehne (defensive line).
This is an interesting group. Three transfers. A wide receiver-turned-safety as late as January in Wooden.
And with the exception of Hunter, it’s a lot of holdovers that were confident in their abilities heading into this spring, but largely unproven on the game sheet.
