Enchanting People of New Mexico - Football Player Don Perkins

Today I’m talking about Donald Anthony Perkins. In those days it wasn’t unusual that he played both offense and defense, so he really had to be in shape since he was on the field the whole game. On offense, he was a running back and a defensive back for the UNM Lobos along with being a kick returner. In 1958 he led the nation in kickoff returns.
