Jah’mar Sanders believes he picked the perfect weekend to visit the University of New Mexico to watch its football team play against UNLV on Nov. 6 and tour the program’s facilities.

Sanders, a dynamic dual-threat quarterback out of Port Arthur, Texas Memorial High, saw the Lobos lose 31-17, and UNLV ended its 14-game losing streak. He saw UNM’s offensive line struggle to protect quarterback Isaiah Chavez, who suffered an ankle injury.

“It made me want to go there more because I see I can actually have the potential to play and step up to help change the environment around there,” Sanders said during a telephone interview.
