New Mexico senior TE Lucas Reed has been invited to the East-West Shrine Game.

Statistically speaking, Reed had his worst collegiate season in 2012, catching five passes for 37 yards. Most importantly, the tight end has the frame that will intrigue evaluators and possibly land him a draftable grade if he impresses during the process.

New Mexico sophomore CB Devonta Tabannah has been reinstated to the program following a suspension, but he will not play this Saturday against Texas.

Tabannah was arrested last month for a DUI, driving without a license or proof of registration, expired/not displayed license plate and for running a red light. The sophomore should return next week versus Texas Tech.

There is some chatter that former Virginia Tech recruit and New Mexico transfer Ricardo Young could be on his way to Maryland.

A lot of things add up here. Young is from D.C., former New Mexico coach Mike Locksley landed in Maryland as Randy Edsall's OC in December and Danny O'Brien has transferred out of the program. O'Brien's departure leaves C.J. Brown as the only experienced QB on the roster. After redshirting with the Hokies in 2010, Young transferred to New Mexico where he sat out last season per NCAA transfer rules.

It seems as though New Mexico tight end Lucas Reed either does nothing offensively or he has a day like he did against Wyoming, where he had 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns on seven catches.

He is either boom or bust but if you need to hit the homerun, he might be worth a play.

New Mexico tight end Lucas Reed had a breakout game against San Diego State as he hauled in six passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns.

With this performance, Reed definitely put himself on several watch lists, but take a wait-and-see approach.

New Mexico quarterback Tate Smith has decided to leave the team.  Smith has dealt with injuries and has slipped down the depth chart. 

Regardless of who is named the starting Lobo quarterback (which looks to be B.R. Holbrook), they are not worth drafting in any league.

New Mexico quarterback Donovan Porterie had 272 yards and two touchdowns on 28-of-44 passing in Saturday's close loss to BYU, 24-19.

Porterie also rushed for a touchdown in the game, as he accounted for all of the Lobos' points. Eight of Porterie's passes went to Daryl Jones for 94 yards and a touchdown.

New Mexico quarterback Donovan Porterie had 316 yards and two touchdowns on 30 of 56 passing in the Lobos' loss to Texas Tech.

The New Mexico running game was also fairly effective in the game, as freshman A.J. Butler netted his first 100-yard game, with 102 yards and a score on 26 carries.

New Mexico senior quarterback Donovan Porterie was back in action Saturday after a knee injury and subesquent surgery knocked him out of the majority of the 2008 football season.  Perterie was 29 of 40 for 210 yards in Saturday's loss to Texas A&M.

Porterie and the Lobos struggled to score in the game and did not get a touchdown in the opening round for the fourth straight year.  Don't expect any offensive firepower this season for New Mexico if the Lobos continue to play as they did on Saturday.

Exiting spring ball New Mexico is still undecided at quarterback, with this battle beinge waged between Donovan Porterie, Brad Gruner and Tate Smith.

Porterie was a two year starter before being injured against Tulsa last year. But the Lobos' new spread option offense may suit the more mobile Gruner and walk-on Tate better.

Redshirt freshman tailback for the New Mexico Lobos A.J. Butler controlled UNM's ground attack in last Saturday's Cherry-White spring game, leading all rushers with 19 carries for 110 yards.

New head coach Mike Locksley notes that Butler has looked solid throughout this spring, and after a powerful performance Saturday, appears to have made a strong argument for taking over the starting role at running back heading into fall.

Brad Gruner, back up for Donovan Porterie at quarterback for the New Mexico Lobos, went six-of-10 for 84 yards in Saturday's spring game, but left the contest after suffering a hard hit to the head.

New head coach of the Lobos Mike Locksley told Go Lobos.com that Gruner "took a shot" and "was out on his feet" after failing to pitch the ball on an option play. Gruner's injury subsequently gave Tate Smith additional snaps in Saturday's contest and may have moved Smith up higher on the UNM depth chart at quarterback.

New Mexico quarterback Donovan Porterie impressed in Saturday's spring game, throwing 15-of-24 on the day for 125 yards and three touchdowns.

Tate Smith made a solid showing for the Lobos under center as well. But with Porterie showing no rust coming off knee surgery on Saturday, expect that the senior will continue to keep hold on the starting spot at quarterback for the foreseeable future.

Tate Smith finished Saturday's spring game at quarterback for New Mexico with 152 yards and a touchdown on eight-of-17 passing.

Go Lobos.com comments that Smith "probably moved up in the QB race" with his performance Saturday. Still, expect he'll have an uphill fight to unseat Donovan Porterie who went 15-of-24 for 125 yards and three touchdowns in the same game.
Sun, Apr 19, 2009 09:15:00 PM

New Mexico senior wideout Roland Bruno topped all receivers in Saturday's spring game, grabbing five catches for 72 yards and a score on the day.

A former walk-on, Bruno proved one of the biggest surprises for the Lobos last season, grabbing 24 catches for 242 yards. The Beaumont, Texas native could not find the end zone in 2008, however, thus discouraging fantasy owners from taking a closer look.
