Santos Valdez brings veteran size and center versatility to NMSU’s front
Santos Valdez is a 6-foot-2, 320-pound senior/grad transfer who gives New Mexico State experienced interior-line depth and the flexibility to play center or guard, which matters in a room with an open center battle. In 2025, the Aggies listed him on the roster but had no season stats for him, while fall-camp reporting noted he had only nine snaps at center last season—so the upside is more about reliability, physicality, and plug-and-play versatility than flashy numbers. He looks like a sturdy fit for a team that needs a dependable tone-setter inside.
