Offensive line appears to be a priority when it comes to the University of New Mexico football team’s 2022 recruiting class that will be joining the Lobos officially when the early signing period begins on Wednesday.
That priority might have taken a hit when Rio Rancho’s Cayden Romero suffered a broken right ankle during the New Mexico High School All-Star game on Dec. 4. But the 6-foot-5, 330-pound offensive lineman, nicknamed “Diesel,” is in good spirits and remains confident he’ll soon contribute to the Lobos.
Romero said he’ll have surgery on the ankle on Thursday.
