LAS VEGAS, Nevada 鈥� For the sixth straight year, New Mexico football was picked to finish last in some form or fashion in the Mountain West preseason poll.

And for the sixth straight year, no Lobo admitted to being all too bothered by that mark.

鈥淚鈥檝e been the underdog before 鈥� high school, ever since I (was) growing up because I鈥檝e moved around a lot 鈥� military kid,鈥� defensive back Donte Martin said on Tuesday. 鈥淚鈥檓 used to being at the bottom and working my way up to the top. It really didn鈥檛 bother me any, but we鈥檙e coming this season.鈥�

Boise State is picked to win the league, which eliminates divisions in football this year. The Lobos, coming off a 2-10 2022 and 0-8 in league play, were an emphatic last-place selection.

鈥淓veryone always has their preseason (rankings) 鈥� not that that ever matters, no one was ever right鈥� quarterback Dylan Hopkins said. 鈥淚 think (the ranking) was somewhat expected, with how the record was last year and how things went on. How could anyone project us that high?

鈥淏ut I think after really seeing us this season, it鈥檚 gonna be a big difference.鈥�

Hosted at Circa Casino and Resort, Mountain West Media Days opened on Wednesday with players in the spotlight. Martin and Hopkins were asked a bevy of questions about this last spring, summer and the season ahead:

OFFENSIVE BACKFIELD: UNM boasts depth at several positions: wide receiver, linebacker and there鈥檚 a solid case to be made for quarterback at this point with Hopkins and the likes of D.C. Tabscott, Devon Dampier and Justin Holaday. But depth aside, no room is more congested than the running back room.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 definitely a group that鈥檚 competing more than anyone right now,鈥� Hopkins said.

Hopkins looked to Alabama State transfer Jacory Merritt, preseason All-Mountain West kick returner Christian Washington and Sherod White as a few of the names at the front to help boost the offense. Still, with repetitions needed to fully get the hang of UNM鈥檚 wide zone offense, he said repetitions will be key for the group as a whole.

鈥淚t鈥檚 never easy for a bunch of running backs to get thrown into a new offense, especially one like (offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent鈥檚),鈥� he said.

NO HARD FEELINGS: Cleveland graduate and former UNM linebacker Dion Hunter鈥檚 departure from the program this spring left some fans feeling a little shocked and confused. For his part, Martin was clear there鈥檚 no ill will directed towards the incoming Cincinnati linebacker.

鈥淚 didn鈥檛 have no hardship with him,鈥� he said. 鈥淒id what he wanted to do. (If) that鈥檚 the best for him, that鈥檚 the best for him. We always have the mentality of next man up in football.鈥�

In some ways, Hunter鈥檚 departure cut the top off the two-deep. Who is the next man up in UNM鈥檚 linebacker room?

鈥淭he leaders right there, I鈥檒l say (Alec Marenco), (Syaire Riley) and (Ray Leutele), especially with him coming off injury, trying to get back,鈥� Martin said.

BY THE NUMBERS: Following a spring practice on March 1, offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent said the offense was 鈥�60-65%鈥� installed. And now?

鈥淚鈥檇 say it鈥檚 right around 80-85%,鈥� Hopkins said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e always throwing things (in) during the season but as far as our base, we鈥檙e pretty locked in.鈥�

Martin didn鈥檛 have a true numerical figure on where the offense is at. But after facing the offense this spring and further in 7-on-7 periods over the summer, he noted a few differing trends.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 know if I鈥檝e seen their full playbook yet,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey might be waiting for fall camp for that 鈥� (what) we鈥檝e been doing in the summer, they鈥檝e been focusing on getting the ball downfield, explosive plays so far.鈥�

SUMMER WORKOUTS: In previous summers, Martin said the team was more focused on pure conditioning. This one? There鈥檚 still that element but there鈥檚 a clearer focus on strength-building.

鈥淚 feel like everybody鈥檚 bought in,鈥� Martin added. 鈥淓specially with those coming off injury. It鈥檚 gonna be interesting heading into fall camp.鈥�
