Back when the UTEP football team convened in Ruidoso to begin its fall camp, one of the biggest questions the Miners faced was how to replace Will Hernandez — the best offensive lineman in school history who nailed down the left guard position for 49 games over four years.

The answer ended up being freshman Bobby DeHaro, who both grayshirted and redshirted and was two years removed from his playing days at El Paso's Montwood High School.
