But newly hired head coach Bronco Mendenhall and his assistants relieved the tension when Chief of Staff and Director of Player Personnel Pat Hickman texted Sierra on Dec. 9. The following day, Sierra got a ‘get to know you’ phone call from UNM linebackers coach Shane Hunter.
An official visit was arranged. On that visit, Sierra was happily informed the new staff would honor his commitment to the Lobos. Sierra signed with UNM on the first day of the early signing period (Dec. 20), becoming the first high school player from Las Cruces to sign with the Lobos in several years.
Sierra signing with UNM highlighted the month of December as far as recruiting is concerned. Numerous other players were extended offers, including Lovington ATH Demarcus Thompson Demarcus Thompson 6'0" | 175 lbs | ATH Lovington | 2024 State NM picking up a PWO opportunity from UNM and La Cueva QB Cameron Dyer Cameron Dyer 6'3" | 185 lbs | QB La Cueva | 2025 State NM being offered by Texas Tech, the third 2025 Bears players to be offered by the Red Raiders.
