Tyler Martinez Tyler Martinez 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Volcano Vista | 2022 State NM , Volcano Vista: Nobody rose faster up the rankings than Martinez, our Class 6A Defensive Player of the Year. He showed glimpses of his potential in the spring when he had 31 tackles in just 3 games. In the fall, he exploded for 145 tackles and an impressive 29.5 tackles for loss. With his size (6-1, 195 pounds) and speed, he’s a perfect fit for a hybrid safety/OLB role at the college level. He’s been offered by NMMI.
Blessed to be named 1st Team All District and the District 6A Defensive Player of the Year🦅 all glory to god! @PrepRedzoneNM @_NMAA @NMrecruits @nmpreps pic.twitter.com/1gd9XSpkDY

Landon Williams Landon Williams 6'3" | 225 lbs | DL Albuquerque | 2022 State NM , Albuquerque High: Because AHS doesn’t generate a lot of coverage in the mainstream media, Williams was a stealth prospect last summer. But then New Mexico Highlands offered and FCS Stephen F. Austin began to show interest in the 6-foot-3, 225-pounder. Western New Mexico offered in December. His latest offer? A PWO opportunity from New Mexico State, so FBS football could be in his future. More than one-third of his tackles this past season (17 of 48) were for loss.
Extremely blessed and thankful to receive an opportunity to play football @NMStateFootball !! #PWO pic.twitter.com/jtSbwSjiAe

Nico Fulgenzi Nico Fulgenzi 6'0" | 180 lbs | DB Albuquerque Academy | 2022 State NM , Albuquerque Academy: The Chargers’ high-powered offense generates most of the attention, but Academy’s defense led by Fulgenzi was pretty good too this past season. He finished with 46 tackles and 2 sacks in 10 games to earn All-District honors. His reward? Offers from Lewis & Clark College, Willamette University, Culver-Stockton and Clarke University. With a 6-foot-0, 195 pounds, he possesses the size to excel at the next level.
Extremely thankful to be named 1st Team All-District. Thank you to everyone who contributed to my success this season. I can’t show my appreciation enough! And most importantly, thank you to the man upstairs! 🙏✝️ #AllGloryToGod pic.twitter.com/Wn16fVDwOh
