Big-frame Lobos defender with special-teams grit and upside
In the 2024 season, Max Lantzsch played in three games for New Mexico, all on special teams, and his most notable flash was a key block that helped spring a 79-yard punt-return touchdown against Air Force.[1] He missed the entire 2023 season with a shoulder injury and earlier redshirted at East Carolina in 2022, so the appeal here is more about upside, size, and toughness than box-score volume.[1][4] At 6-foot-6 and 263 pounds, he has the frame of an edge/linebacker hybrid and looks like a developmental fit if your team wants length, special-teams value, and a player with some unfinished business.[1][12]
