With a new athletics season come new athletes. Here are a the six UTEP athletes people should keep an eye on:
Evan Gilyard (Guard, men’s basketball)
Floyd used his Chicago connections again to sign Evan Gilyard—who went to the legendary school of Simeon Career Academy. It appears that Gilyard is going to be a starter in his first year with the Miners since the team lost Dominic Artis last season.
Gilyard is not afraid of any big moments and players bigger than his 5-foot-9 frame. His senior season, he averaged 17 points per game with six assists while leading his team to a 29-4 record.
