If San Diego State wins Friday afternoon at New Mexico, then the Aztecs win the Mountain West regular-season title and host the Dec. 5 conference championship game at Snapdragon Stadium.

Here’s a look at four potential NFL prospects to watch in SDSU’s 46th meeting with the Lobos:

Bryce Phillips, CB, San Diego State, Sr.

The Aztecs’ secondary is loaded with potential pro talent. It isn’t just Chris Johnson and his band of Merry Men back there. Phillips spent two years at Tennessee State before transferring to SDSU last year. He’s spent most of his time opposite Johnson on the boundary, but his size (6-feet, 195 pounds) and physical nature suggest he could thrive as a nickelback or even handle safety responsibilities at the next level. Out of 192 cornerbacks who’ve played at least 500 snaps this season, Phillips is tied for sixth in run defense (86.2) and 15th in tackling (84.7), according to Pro Football Focus. The Long Beach native is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons cornerback Clark Phillips III.

Joseph Borjon, T, San Diego State, Sr.

Borjon has bounced back after missing most of last season with a torn ACL in his left knee. The senior right tackle features prototypical size (6-8, 338) and strength. His long arms and smooth footwork enable him to hold his own on an island against pass rushers. Borjon outgrew the game of baseball and returned to the gridiron as a junior in high school after giving up football in middle school. There’s still a lot of developmental upside left in the tank.

Keyshawn James-Newby, Edge, New Mexico, Sr.

The 6-2, 244 pound edge rusher began his career at Montana Tech, an NAIA program, before becoming one of the best players in the FCS last season at Idaho. Last year, James-Newby had two sacks and a forced fumble for the Vandals in a 24-14 loss at No. 3-ranked Oregon and three sacks and a forced fumble in a 17-13 win at Wyoming. He hasn’t missed a beat at the FBS level with 44 tackles, seven sacks, five passes defensed and a forced fumble for the Lobos this season. Out of 187 edge rushers who have played at least 400 snaps, PFF grades him as the 17th-best in total defense (84.2) and he’s tied for 11th in pass rush (91.1) with Texas A&M’s Cashius Howell.

Jaxton Eck, LB, New Mexico, Jr.

Eck followed his dad, Lobos head coach Jason Eck, to Albuquerque from Idaho after earning FCS All-America honors with 134 tackles, 3½ tackles for loss and an interception last year. He has 115 tackles this season, which ranks 10th nationally and second in the Mountain West. The 6-1, 224 pound weakside linebacker has elite instincts and is dogged in his approach against the run. Out of 242 linebackers who have played at least 400 snaps, PFF grades him as the 14th-best in run defense (88.3).
