Ty Atencio brings proven red-zone playmaking and wide-receiver polish to NMSU’s tight end room
Atencio is a former prep touchdown machine who translated that playmaking background into a reliable, if modest, receiving role at New Mexico State, where he appeared in nine games and made three starts in the 2015 season. His biggest differentiators are his wideout-style hands and route experience, plus the competitive resume that includes a state-record 23 touchdowns in a single season at Aztec High. For a team, he profiles as a versatile, high-effort TE with upside in the passing game rather than a pure in-line mauler.
