Americas alum Dumas running hard for New Mexico

Sitting around and waiting was never on Aaron Dumas’ agenda.

The New Mexico true freshman running back by way of Americas High School, who counts Aaron Jones as his first on-field role model, planned on making an instant impact for the Lobos. Here it is.

Dumas led New Mexico in rushes in his collegiate opener, a win against Houston Baptist, and last week in the spotlight game at Texas A&M, he was the one identifiable plus for the Lobo offense when he had 49 yards on 10 rushes.

Afterward, he sounded like someone who knew he was supposed to be there.
