Talk about it in Aggie Sports Connection
On a day that saw NMSU sign 18 players on a very busy NLI day, one player that isn't grabbing any headlines and has quietly flown under the recruiting radar. Aggie fans, meet your future quarterback.
"Gray shirt" is usually a term or status that no college football recruit wants to hear coming from a head football coach. That is, unless it's coach Hal Mumme and his heralded "Air Raid" offense. But that's exactly what Trevor Walls is slated to become when he joins the NMSU football team in the fall.
So who is Trevor Walls? First, let take a quick look at his high school stats.
Walls, a drop-back, pro-style quarterback for the Tigers of Waverly, OH, led his team to over 25 victories. Walls also threw for over 5,500 yards. During his senior campaign, Walls threw for 2,002 yards and racked up 20 touchdowns, all while only throwing 4 interceptions.
Those familiar with coach Mumme know how much coach Mumme cherishes the tall, athletic quarterback, and Walls doesn't disappoint. Walls stands at a towering 6'6", 215. A perfect fit for the Aggie offense. Aggie opponents will be in awe seeing a such an intimidating figure under center.
Now with NLI signing day behind us, Walls will gray shirt his first year at NMSU as coach Mumme has no remaining scholarships to hand out. Walls appears to be fine with that decision as he's convinced playing for coach Mumme is worth the wait.
With Chase Holbrook wrapping up his senior season at NMSU, Walls will be sitting quietly on the sidelines awaiting his turn. Walls will be learning from two of the best in offense in coach Mumme and Chase Holbrook. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
