Don’t think of the Journal’s short list of premier metro football players to watch for the 2022 season as the final say. Far from it, in fact. Think of it merely as being reflective of the depth of talent in and around Albuquerque this fall.
The Journal has put together a list of 10 names of some of the premier players in the area (see below), but you’ll read about many more athletes during the next three months. The season begins Thursday night.
Besides those on the list, some of the others you’ll be hearing about include Albuquerque Academy quarterback A.J. Rivera, who runs the controls on one of Class 4A’s best teams. And La Cueva sophomore Mason Posa, listed here as an outside linebacker but a versatile member of the Bears’ front eight – and already with a scholarship offer to the University of New Mexico.
