New Mexico State football camp highlights first two weeks as season approaches

New Mexico State's fall camp continues as the team completes its second week of practice. Nine practices will be completed by August 8, with five more sessions, including a scrimmage on August 15, remaining before their season opener against Florida State on August 29. Quarterback Trey Hedden has been named the starter, while backup Adam Damante has shown promise with several completions and a touchdown pass. Notable defensive performances include multiple interceptions, particularly by safety RJ Chapman and linebacker Tory Gethers. The camp has had some controversy, including the dismissal of tight end Josiah Thomas from practice for leaving early without consulting trainers and the firing of general manager David Cobb prior to camp.
