Ryan Berryman has been named New Mexico’s interim athletic director following Fernando Lovo’s departure for the University of Colorado, the school announced Tuesday.

Berryman, UNM’s deputy athletic director and chief operating officer, will start Jan. 1. The announcement comes one day after Lovo, UNM’s athletic director for the past 13 months, was named to the same role at Colorado.

“Ryan Berryman brings deep institutional knowledge, steady leadership and a strong commitment to our student-athletes, coaches and staff,” President Garnett S. Stokes said in a news release. “His experience and collaborative approach position him well to guide our athletics program during this transition, and I am confident he will continue to build the momentum of Lobo athletics.”

Additional information about UNM’s search for a permanent athletic director is “forthcoming,” per the release.
