Scottre Humphrey looks like UNM’s tone-setting lead back
In the 2025 season, Scottre Humphrey gave New Mexico a real downhill threat, rushing for 349 yards and 5 touchdowns while averaging 4.5 yards per carry, and he’s listed as the Lobos’ RB1 entering 2026.[1][2][11] What makes him interesting is the combo package: compact size, contact balance, and enough burst to create chunk plays, plus a return-season opportunity after an up-and-down 2025 that was affected by injuries and ball-security issues.[6][8][11] If a team wants a physical, experienced back who can handle lead-back volume and bring some attitude, Humphrey is absolutely worth a closer look.
