EL PASO – For its Mountain West Conference opener against Air Force this Saturday, University of New Mexico could have some of its six players cleared after they were out against UTEP due to a positive COVID-19 result and subsequent contact tracing, UNM athletic director Eddie Nuñez said.
Wide receivers Mannie Logan-Greene, Keyonta Lanier, Elijah Queen, Andrew Erickson and Zarak Scruggs Jr., as well as tight end Trace Bruckler were all ruled out after a positive COVID-19 case on the team that caused the players to be unavailable due to contact tracing on Saturday when UTEP defeated the Lobos, 20-13, at the Sun Bowl.
