Eli Cronin brings downhill linebacker juice to New Mexico
Cronin enters New Mexico as a freshman linebacker with a proven stat-stuffer profile from Basha High: in his final prep seasons, he piled up 413 career tackles, 54 tackles for loss, and 17.5 sacks, showing rare range and backfield disruption for a 6-foot, 216-pound defender. He looks like a tone-setter who plays with urgency, fits the run hard, and has the versatility to rush or chase in space. The appeal is simple: if you want a physical, instinctive LB with production and edge, he’s your guy.
