Valencia’s Andrew Rightley has committed to play football at New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas. Rightley, a second team 4A All-State center, said NMHU coaches “made you feel like it’s a family, right off the bat.”   

Rightley said the staff “loved my work ethic — they were saying I’m not afraid to hit someone, which I’m not. That’s why I’m an offensive lineman.”   

Rightley will study exercise science with plans to be an athletic trainer.
