UTEP Football Position Group Focus: Running backs

Who is in the mix?

Replacing Aaron Jones has been the main question lingering over the program since he declared for the NFL Draft, and now the answer is almost days away from being answered.

Coming into the spring, UTEP had six candidates vying for carries, and now it’s down to five after talented sophomore Quardraiz Wadley will be on the shelf for this season with a shoulder injury.

At the top of the current projected depth chart sits Walter Dawn Jr. and Kevin Dove.

Both are similar in that they have the most experience inside the running back room, but their different styles should complement each other as UTEP’s main backs to start the season.
