Why I Chose NMHU:  I chose New Mexico Highlands because I believe in what the Coaches got going on here. Being that Vegas is my hometown I am proud to be able to represent my family and my community through football and play alongside other guys throughout New Mexico and Las Vegas. It is a privilege and a childhood dream to play for NMHU.
