When Miles Kendrick wanted to find out more about the University of New Mexico and its football team, the then-Kansas quarterback reached out to a childhood friend, Lobo defensive lineman Jake Saltonstall, who also grew up in Morgan Hill, California.

Kendrick, shortly after entering the transfer portal and gaining notice from UNM, knew he wanted to play for the Lobos. He just wanted to learn more about them and find some sort of confirmation.

Saltonstall, who played on his first youth football team with Kendrick, gave the quarterback just what he wanted.
