Senior transfer Miles Kendrick (Kansas) has been named the starting quarterback for the University of New Mexico, coach Danny Gonzales said.
Kendrick, who sat out the spring due to a leg injury sustained in November with the Jayhawks, picked up his game over the past week and is slated to start in the Lobos’ season opener against Maine, Sept. 3 at University Stadium.
Kendrick, a 5-foot-10, 210-pound 23-year-old from Morgan Hill, Calif., logged four starts in 17 career games at Kansas, throwing for 853 yards and nine touchdowns on 96-for-157 (61.1%) passing. He was picked off six times.
