The stat that 4-star prospects (‘17-21) were 5.9 times more likely to be picked up than two-star/lower ranked prospects is an eye opener.

What a draft for UTEP. Miners didn't have a pick since 2018, but today alone they had ILB Tyrice Knight in the 4th round, former WR Jacob Cowing in the 4th round, and G Elijah Klein in the 6th round.

Lots of NFL talent traveling through El Paso recently.

Yes, I’ll count Cowing since he played two All-Conference seasons at UTEP before transferring to Arizona to be closer to family. #MinerTalk

With 3 former UTEP players drafted today (Knight, Cowing & Klein), it matches the most since 2008:

• OT Oniel Cousins (3rd rd, Ravens)
• DB Quintin Demps (4th, Eagles)
• RB Marcus Thomas (5th, Chargers)
