UNM sophomore standout tight end Trace Bruckler is out for the season after dislocating his right shoulder against LSU on Sept. 24. Bruckler missed UNM's game against UNLV and will have surgery this week, Gonzales said. Bruckler, who led the Lobos with three touchdown receptions last year, tore his left labrum in March when New Mexico ended its spring session, Gonzales said. Bruckler built up enough strength that he was able to forgo surgery and play the first four games, Gonzales said. But Bruckler was not at his best because of the left shoulder pain. He'll have surgery on his left shoulder this week and about a month later will have surgery on his right shoulder, Gonzales said. - Albuquerque Journal
