With the start of UTEP’s football season in August, the Miners have a few key players on their roster that are looking to make an impact. Redshirt junior Praise Amaewhule looks to be one of those players and is looking to hopefully to hear his name called at the NFL draft.
Last season, Amaewhule was named All-Conference USA second team, had 19 tackles, four quarterback hurries, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Amaewhule had an excellent performance against Louisiana Tech University, notching five tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks and four pass breakups. Amaewhule also had a forced fumble with a sack and tackle for loss.
