Elijah Klein becomes the second Miner to drafted today, as the Buccaneers selected the OL in the 6th round with the 220th overall pick.

Could we see a third Miner off the board before the draft ends?

Both QB Gavin Hardison and OL Andrew Meyer are signing with the Miami Dolphins as UDFA’s.

The former Miners each played huge roles for UTEP the past few years.

Had no idea that Aluma Nkele hit the portal, but the former UTEP OL is now a Minnesota transfer.

Things move fast in college football.

The portal is crazy

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

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.

The stars/no stars argument might only be a UTEP thing? Group of 5 thing?
