WNMU Camps: Standouts, Offers and Who Was There

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Western New Mexico held two camps in New Mexico this weekend – La Cueva High School in Albuquerque Friday afternoon and Las Cruces High School on Saturday morning. Here are the camp standouts, who was offered and who was there at both locations:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>ALBUQUERQUE CAMP STANDOUTS (The Magnificent Seven)</strong>:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='613752' first='JJ' last='Arellano'], Rio Rancho (QB)</strong>: Arellanos is better known as a runner but his passing skills are impressive. Throws a very nice deep ball. Usually on target with a perfect spiral.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='615425' first='Amiri' last='Mumba'], Highlands (RB)</strong>: Mumba is a winner. Not only is he the best running back in the Albuquerque Metro Region but he's also a state champion wrestler and power lifter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1259000' first='Jace' last='Pitt'], Rio Rancho (WR)</strong>: Pitt combines great length (6-2) with good speed and soft hands. He'll likely be Rio Rancho's top WR in 2024. Potential for 50+ receptions after making 31 catches in 2023. WNMU were impressed enough to offer Pitts following the Albuquerque camp.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1257335' first='Jack' last='Warble'], Rio Rancho (OL)</strong>: How impressed were the WNMU coaches with the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Warble? Within moments after Friday's camp concluded, they extended an offer. He's strong, physical and relentless.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='613743' first='Carlos' last='Barela'], La Cueva (DL)</strong>: Due to transfer rules, Barela wasn't allowed to play for the La Cueva varsity in 2023, so he's still relatively unknown. But he possesses a lightning quick first step and speed, speed, speed.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thomas-James Pettus, Volcano Vista (LB):</strong> Few players have raised their stock more this offseason than Pettus, who impresses at every camp. He's 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, runs like a deer and hits people. Like Warble, he was offered soon after Friday's camp ended.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613703' first='Aiden' last='Gonzales'], Volcano Vista (S)</strong>: Gonzales is only a rising freshman, but he already has a full year of varsity experience under his belt. Plays with a maturity, poise and fearlessness of a player far beyond his years. Intrigued to watch his development over the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WHO WAS OFFERED</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
