RB Jones impressive as Lobos wrap up camp
Copyright © 2022 Albuquerque Journal
Most eyes were on the quarterback competition to start for the University of New Mexico, but prized Lobo running back Nate Jones also got everybody’s attention during Saturday’s scrimmage.
During the opening drive at the Lobos’ indoor facility, directed by senior transfer (from Kansas) quarterback Miles Kendrick, Jones rattled off a strong 30-yard run and seemingly set the tone for a hard-hitting, aggressive session to end preseason camp. The Lobos begin academic classes on Monday and prepare for the Sept. 3 season opener at home vs. Maine.
Jones saw minimal action after his big run. UNM coach Danny Gonzales said that was “because we know what Nate can do.”
