LAS VEGAS, Nev. --- Three Lobos, offensive lineman Aaron Jenkins, running back Tyrone Owens and defensive lineman Garrett Hughes were all named preseason All-Mountain West in a vote by members of the league's media. It's the first time that three Lobos were named to the preseason team since 2013, and the first time that three non-special teams players were named to the team since 2007.
Only San Diego State has more players named to the team, and UNM tied for the most offensive players (two) with Colorado State and San Diego State.
