New Mexico Football: Lamar Jordan named Lobos starting QB

Sophomore quarterback Lamar Jordan has been named New Mexico's starting quarterback.

When the New Mexico Lobos recruited Austin Apodaca many felt that he would be the Lobos starting quarterback in 2015. He was a proven passer and would give the Lobos the ability to open up the offense. Those who felt that he was a lock discounted the incumbent starter Lamar Jordan who saw lots of time in 2014 as a freshman. Jordan who decommitted from the University of Arkansas because they wanted him to convert to a receiver has had odds against him before, he started 2014 as the third quarterback and worked his way to being the starter early in the season.
