This was not what Cam Watts would’ve preferred – or really, what he was prepared for. Less than a month ago, the redshirt senior cornerback was awaiting word on a waiver granting him one more year of eligibility, one last season with the Lobos.
When it didn't happen, Watts had to pivot. Quickly. New Mexico’s pro day was only a few weeks away and there wasn’t a whole lot of training to be done in that span. “I was a little behind everybody else,” Watts admitted Monday. Nor was he totally sure he’d be able to enter in a pro day he always figured was a year away.
