Rio Rancho High seniors Zach Vigil and Cayden Romero made a plan to have fun with verbally committing to the University of New Mexico and announced it on Twitter within 24 hours of each other.
Now they plan to help the Lobo football team during its rebuilding and attempt to be among the New Mexico natives who become UNM’s key contributors, also known as “hometown heroes.”
Vigil, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back, made his verbal commitment to the Lobos Thursday morning. It followed that of Romero, a 6-foot-5, 330-pound offensive lineman, who did likewise on Wednesday afternoon.
