ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of New Mexico football team will host its annual Pro Day on Friday, March 8 starting at 12:30 in the Tow Diehm Weight Room before moving to the Lobo Indoor Practice Facility for drills at 1:30 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public. The public is asked to park in the upper parking lot at Stadium West. Fans should follow Lobo Football on Twitter (@UNMLoboFB) for any time changes. If player measuring and weighting-in goes fast, the event may start earlier. We will announce that change on Twitter if necessary.
Last year UNM’s Pro Day was fruitful for several Lobos as Jason Sanders was drafted in the seventh round by the Miami Dolphins, earning All-Rookie team honors at kicker, and offensive lineman Avery Jordan was signed to a free agent contract in the CFL with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, earning a starting spot. Several other Lobos earned free agent camp tryouts, including Corey Bojorquez, who earned a spot with the Buffalo Bills.
UNM’s Pro Day will consist of weight room work at 12:30 and field work at 1:30. The weight room work will consist of the bench press, vertical press and the standing long jump, and the field work will consist of the 40-yard dash, 5-10-5 shuttle drill, cone drill and then any individual workouts. Several NFL scouts are scheduled to be in attendance, and all measurables are shared throughout the football world as there are several Pro Days around the nation.
Approximately 13 Lobos from the 2018 team are scheduled to participate. A complete list will be available at Pro Day.
