Justice Spates brings size, experience, and proven run-game value to New Mexico’s offensive line
Spates is a 6-foot-3, 255-pound redshirt junior OL who has shown he can help stabilize a front, with New Mexico listing him as a player who preserved his redshirt after appearing in one game for the Lobos and previously earned unanimous All-SCFA First Team honors at College of the Canyons.[1] His appeal is less about box-score stats and more about dependable trench play: he was a key part of an offense that topped 4,000 total yards and averaged 29.7 points per game, which suggests functional, assignment-sound line play. If you want a developmental depth piece with some JUCO pedigree and run-game upside, he fits the mold.[1]
