Safeties of the future making plays for Lobos in 2021

Early in the third quarter against UNLV on Saturday, University of New Mexico freshman safety Ronald Wilson made what coach Danny Gonzales called “a big-time play.”

Wilson’s second career interception was a Sportscenter-type of highlight and gave Gonzales another reason to believe that UNM’s future appears bright.

On the play, UNLV quarterback Cameron Friel appeared to be attempting to throw away the ball toward his own sideline. But Wilson snagged the pass and showed his deft athleticism as he dragged one foot and, for good measure, tapped the other inbounds before going out of bounds.
