New Mexico’s steady depth LB with academic polish
Hunter Haemker is a 6-2, 223-pound junior linebacker for New Mexico who has been more of a depth-and-special-teams piece than a stat-sheet star, with action in six games in 2022 and three in 2023, then no game action in 2024; he logged one tackle in 2025. He’s a local Albuquerque product from La Cueva, has earned Mountain West academic honors, and profiles as a dependable, high-character player whose value is in preparation, toughness, and roster versatility rather than flashy production.
