Reliable Road Grader Powering NM State's Top Rushing Attack
Cedric Claiborne, a 6'4", 295-lb senior right tackle for New Mexico State, started seven games in 2024, anchoring the Aggies' fourth-ranked Conference USA rushing attack at 179.2 yards per game, and was a starter in all nine final games of their historic 10-win 2023 campaign (14th nationally in rushing at 198.7 ypg).[1] Transferred from UTSA after high school dominance as First-Team All-District at Westfield HS, he's a battle-tested vet with proven durability, no injury flags, and the blue-collar intensity to maul defenders in run-heavy schemes—perfect fit for teams needing a gritty, experienced OL who elevates the ground game without the spotlight.
