6A Football Preseason Rankings: Rio Rancho Rams
NMPreps preseason countdown of all 6A New Mexico high school football teams. #nmpreps
NO. 3 RIO RANCHO RAMS
City: Rio Rancho, NM
2021 Record: 9-2 overall, 3-1 district
2021 Playoffs: Lost, State Championship (Cleveland 35-14)
Head Coach: Nate Pino *1st Year
NMPreps 6A Preseason Rank: #3 (of 21)
NMPreps Top-40 Preseason Rank: Coming Soon
Preview: Transition is a key word in 6A football as both powers in Rio Rancho have new head coaches taking over their programs. The Rams turn to longtime assistant Nate Pino as the next signal caller. The Rams offense will also have pieces to replace, specifically at QB and RB. 2024 QB Noah Nelson gained some experience last season serving as the backup. Nelson threw for 272-yards and 4-touchdowns. He also rushed for another 143-yards and 1-TD. He will have top prospect Mikey Wood (2023/WR) to throw to on the outside along with Travien Williams II (2023) another WR with experience. Williams II had three receiving touchdowns last season. On defense it will be the talented CB in Chris Montoya Jr. (2023). The Rams will stay in district 1 in the new alignment with the likes of Cleveland, Cibola, and Volcano Vista -- three strong contenders to go deep in the playoffs.
