The University of New Mexico football team will be hosting a tryout for UNM students interested in joining the football program. The tryout will take place on Thursday August 30, 2018. Registration will take place outside the Tow Diehm Athletic Facility at 10:30 a.m. To be eligible to tryout for the team, individuals must be enrolled full-time at UNM attempting at least 12 credit hours or more in the Fall 2018 semester.
Walk-on tryouts have proven to be helpful for the program, as Steven Steele was a two-time letterwinner (2016-17) after winning a spot on the team after a walk-on tryout, and Dorsett Valdez also lettered last season (2017).
