Edge Garcia | August 6

Running back Cameron Mathews approached the practice field Wednesday at approximately 8:45 a.m., shouting and yelling with excitement. But he wasn’t as loud as offensive lineman Malik Aliane, who roared “let’s go” as he jogged onto the field. Lobo football is back in action. The New Mexico Lobos have completed the first two days of fall camp, including their second under head coach Jason Eck.

It was the “same routine” for KJ Jenkins on the morning of Sunday, May 7. He woke up, “spent time with the Lord,” and headed over to the team shoot-around, around 10 or 11 a.m., before heading back to eat lunch and head home to work on his and his wife Nia’s YouTube channel. Afterwards, Jenkins hit his usual pre-game lift, followed by a pre-game meal prepared by Nia to “get a little energy in (his) stomach” before leaving for the Boråshallen arena in Borås, Sweden, to play in the biggest game of his life.
