FCS All American running back Scottre Humphrey has signed to play for Jason Eck at the University of New Mexico. The former Montana State star’s last dealings with the Lobos left the team heartbroken in their opening football game of the 2024 season.

If that ranking holds, it’d be the best mark in recent memory; UNM has not finished higher than sixth since the transfer portal was established in 2018.
