Today we start releasing our top 50 players in the state of New Mexico. Instead of working from 50 down to 1, we are going to work from 1 out to 50. We start, with #1 Rio Mares from Cibola.
Mares has been a very good player for Cibola for the past two seasons. As a run blocker he is very good and will routinely create holes for his offense. Mares was an all state selection as a junior and will no doubt be mentioned again as a senior. Big Rio, has slimmed down to 315 from a whopping 360 as a junior. That reduced weight will allow him to pass pro using better feet and balance. He competed in the Scout.com Phoenix combine this summer against some of the better competition in the southwest and Mares more than held his own. He currently has offers from New Mexico, New Mexico State and Tulsa and is still hearing from several other schools at this point.
Congratulations to Rio Mares on being selected as our #1 overall player in New Mexico.
