Aggie Ineligibility Narrows NMSU Football Roster
Four football players at New Mexico State University have been ruled ineligible for the 1971 season under NCAA transfer rules and will be red-shirted. Center Dale Bailey, running back BJ Luck, linebacker Nelson Haas, and defensive back Mike Davis transferred from junior colleges this spring. The change clarifies a rule on junior-college transfers and affects several programs nationwide. Coach Jim Wood said the players will red-shirt for 1971, deferring their collegiate careers to 1972, while NMSU searches for replacements to maintain depth.
