🔼  Drake Days. The time and we are Kyler Drake days away from kick off in College Station! That’s right, there are just 45 days until football season so we’re going to highlight Kyler and his Lobo career. The redshirt junior is a defensive end out of San Bernardino, California. He recorded 18 tackles in 10 games last season, including 3.0 tackles for loss. He had a career-high 5 tackles against Utah State. With Mountain West Media Days already here and 45 days until kick off, we’re getting amped up!

🔼 Turkey Tourney. The men’s basketball team will be spending Thanksgiving in Las Vegas! Well… technically Henderson, but you get the gist! The Lobos will compete in the Ball Dawgs Classic at the NBA G-League Ignite’s home arena — the Dollar Loan Center. The teams joining them are Indiana State, Pepperdine, Rice, Toledo, and UC Irvine. The Lobos are no stranger to spending the holiday in Las Vegas, they participated in the 2021 Las Vegas Invitational. Tickets will be available for the event on July 21 at 11:00am MT at www.thedollarloancenter.com and www.axs.com. You can also read more about the event here.
