veteran Lobos linebacker with special-teams grit and steady tackling range
Michael Arredondo’s value for New Mexico has been built on reliability, not flash: he was a three-time letter winner on special teams and stepped in at linebacker when injuries hit, while posting 10 tackles in the 2014 season and 3 tackles in 2013 according to team and ESPN stat logs[1][2]. His edge is versatility, toughness, and a next-man-up mentality, plus a spring camp Hard Hat nod that hints at respect inside the program[2]. He projects as the kind of linebacker coaches trust for effort, discipline, and depth more than headline numbers[2].
