The 6'3" Freight Train QB Back for Lobos' 6th Season with Elite Rushing Prowess
James Laubstein, the 6-foot-3, 211-pound 'freight train' QB from Bethany, CT, returns for his sixth season after winning an NCAA eligibility waiver, bringing unmatched intensity and a fan-favorite persona that electrifies the Albuquerque crowd. His 363 rushing yards (6.2 YPC) in the 2025 season were the most by any Lobo QB, proving he's a dual-threat differentiator who turns tackles into momentum. Though he lacks in-game experience (96 passing yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs in 2025), his 40-yard TD run against UNLV and Pro Day 'dots' show raw talent and leadership. With zero interceptions and a 74.2 QBR, he's a low-risk, high-intensity fit for teams needing a physical QB who thrives under pressure and elevates offense with 'serious juice'—perfect for squads valuing grit over polish.
