SPRING OVERVIEW
With Daniel Ayala back to direct the West Mesa offense, head coach Anthony Ansotigue will look to continue building the Mustangs football program. The Mustangs are coming off their best season in football and finished with a bowl, a perfect 3-0 record and ranked for the first time since 2017 when they finished 7-4. Ayala played a huge role at quarterback for the Mustangs but a wealth of talent returns on the sidelines for the Mustangs; the x-factor is returning an experienced lined anchored by Anthony Wilkins, 6-foot-3 OL. In those trenches will also have Nathan Martinez (2022), Abram Smith-Bernhardt (2024), and Brandon Brewton (2023). Chris Johnson and Anthony Rodriguez provide options on the outside for Ayala as two reliable receivers. On offense, the holes to fill will be with Ja'Calvin Newsom (RB/signed with Eastern New Mexico) and WR Joseph Thompson who left as graduating seniors.
