❤️ Since stepping in, AD Fernando Lovo has been nothing short of a blessing for New Mexico. He didn’t just accept the job, he embraced the challenge of rebuilding Lobo Athletics from the ground up.
✅ Hired Coach Eck, one of the best football hires in school history.
✅ Went to Santa Fe and got the NM Congress to invest in UNM Athletics for the first time in decades.
✅ Brought in a new MBB coach in Coach Olen who’s already building a powerhouse team.
✅ Created energy & fun around UNM Athletics, from viral national skits 🎥 to initiatives that are going to be filling the stands 🏟️.
But most importantly… he’s preparing UNM for the future. 🌄 He’s said it himself: this program will be ready for the 2030 conference realignment era. With his Texas ties, Big 12 connections, and fearless vision, if anyone can get UNM to the P4 level, it’s AD Lovo. 🐺🔥
He’s jumped in headfirst, and he’s already making UNM a brand people respect again. This is leadership. This is vision. This is Lobo Nation rising.
Thank you, AD Lovo, for showing us what’s possible. The future is bright. We are blessed to have you leading this lobo family!🌹🐺
