Isaiah Chavez, the walk-on fifth-string true freshman quarterback out of Rio Rancho High School who guided the University of New Mexico to two straight wins to end the season, said the past two weeks have been a dream come true.
Some noteworthy honors came on Monday to add to that dream.
Chavez, believed to be the first walk-on true freshman to start at quarterback in UNM program history, was named the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week after leading the Lobos (2-5) past Fresno State, 49-39, on Saturday night at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Chavez was also one of eight quarterbacks that the Allstate Sugar Bowl selected as nominees for the Manning Award Stars of the Week. Fans have the opportunity to vote on Facebook until Thursday for the overall Manning Award Quarterback of the Week.
