New Mexico-New Mexico State game to be broadcast in Navajo
The Battle of I-25 rivalry game between New Mexico and New Mexico State will be broadcast throughout the state in Navajo. NMSU graduate Cuyler Frank will call the game in Navajo for the KCZY 107.3 FM radio station. Colin Deaver of KTSM 9 News first reported the news.
NMSU offensive lineman Shiyazh Pete and tight end JJ Jones III are both from the Navajo Nation. Pete, a redshirt freshman, didn’t see any action last season but has played left tackle this year for the Aggies. In an interview with KTSM 9 News, he says “it’s a privilege” and “a strong honor to represent my people.”
Jones played for Dartmouth from 2017 to 2021 and transferred to NMSU after graduating from the Ivy League. He caught one pass for 10 yards versus Wisconsin in Week 3.
The Aggies enter the matchup with a 1-5 record while the Lobos come in at 2-4. New Mexico State’s lone win came over Hawaii, while New Mexico has victories over Maine and UTEP.
The game is set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
