University of New Mexico coach Danny Gonzales is wanting to honor the past and start a Lobo football tradition by having some of his football players wear the jersey numbers of great UNM players of the past.
This season, senior linebacker Reco Hannah will wear No. 44 to represent Brian Urlacher, regarded as the greatest Lobo of all time, and redshirt freshman linebacker Dion Hunter will wear No. 42 to honor fellow homegrown standout Bobby Santiago.
Both numbers had been retired.
