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.”
