Local pride fuels Lobos’ new football era

Seeing UNM’s head coach Jason Eck walking Cleveland High’s halls isn’t just a cool moment for students—it’s a sign that New Mexico’s top football talent is finally getting the spotlight at home. Eck’s approach is all about building the Lobos with local players who bring real passion for their state. After a winning season and a new contract, he’s doubling down on keeping stars like Maldonado and Richards in New Mexico. With more flexibility in scholarships coming, could this be the start of a true homegrown powerhouse? What do you think it’ll take to keep our best athletes playing for the Lobos? #Sports #Football #NewMexicosTeam
