@UNMLoboFB on Twitter

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Lobos have had some terrific tight ends over the years, but the fans have spoken, and Marcus Williams, a rising senior, is the selection as the tight end on the #BestOfThe2000s team, voted on by the fanbase.  He becomes the sixth member of the team voted in.  The Lobo Football twitter account is seeking nominations for offensive line, a position that should garner plenty of names.

Williams picked up more than half the votes, with 52.3% of the vote. It was a close race for second, with Lucas Reed topping Reece White 21.5% to 18.4%.  John Mulchrone was fourth with 5.4% of the votes.  Overall, there were a total of 325 votes cast.

The series is a way to engage Lobo fans with the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
