Jason Eck: “Could be maybe (Laubstein’s) last play of football, and he’s not feeling sorry for himself. He’s encouraging his teammates and trying to motivate those guys. He’s a winner. He’s gonna be a winner in life, and he’s gonna be successful no matter what he does.”

@UNMLoboXCTF -- currently the No. 1 men's XC team in the country -- has a VERY different program trajectory if Matt Henry doesn't recruit Santa Fe's Matt Gonzales from NM Highlands to help resurrect a moribund program 25 years ago. Game changer. 🐺🏃🏽♂️ – at Beaverton, OR
A tremendous class will be honored at the Hall of Honor dinner on Nov. 13 and then at @UNMLoboFB vs. UNLV on Nov. 14
