Every Lobo fan can recognize the voice for Lobo football, basketball, baseball and soccer saying “Here come your Lobos!” Stu
Walker dedicated his weekends and weekdays for more than 20 years to creating a game day environment that was fun for everyone who was involved. As a graduate from the University of New Mexico, Stu had great pride and enthusiasm for the school, sports and student-athletes that he represented.
In addition to Lobo athletics, Stu showed his love for the city of Albuquerque by serving as the PA announcer for the Albuquerque Isotopes and the New Mexico Activities Association. He graduated from Highland High and UNM with a degree in history in 1977. Before becoming the voice of Albuquerque, he worked for Albuquerque Public Schools. He was intensely proud to be New Mexican and it showed through his actions and not just his words.
A “Stewart Walker Memorial Scholarship” fund is being set up at UNM in his name. This is just one more example of how Stu touches the lives of the Lobos and the members of this community.
Brad Hutchins, UNM Deputy Athletic Director for External Operations, said, “Stu was a staple in UNM athletics for over 20 years. His voice was widely recognized by our student-athletes and all Lobo fans. Stu was truly a Lobo for life!”
