LAS CRUCES, New Mexico (KTSM) — After taking a week off for spring break, New Mexico State football returned to the field Tuesday to resume spring practices for the 2026 season.

The Aggies continue to evaluate the talent along the offensive line, a unit the program has invested heavily in this year. At quarterback, Trey Hedden, Adam Damante, and Kalani McLeod continue to battle for the starting spot.

Defensively, NMSU returns a strong core of players and is feeling confident about its performance heading into the second half of spring ball.

With practices now past the halfway point, the team is pleased with the work completed and hopes to continue building momentum over the remaining five sessions.

The next practice is scheduled for Thursday morning, and spring ball will wrap up Friday, April 10, with a Fan Fest at Aggie Memorial Stadium.
