Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the awards show was held virtually with Saltes earning the honor from the Tow Diehm Football Complex on UNM’s campus. Also on the show were head coach Danny Gonzales as well as Saltes’ family members in Arizona and on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
