The UTEP Athletics department announced a reentry plan for student athletes starting with the return to campus for voluntary workouts beginning June 15, as announced by Director of Athletics Jim Senter.
Student athletes will return in phases starting with the first group of student athletes stemming from the football program with approximately 45 players returning according to a press release by UTEP Athletics. Gradually the number of football players returning will increase in June and July.
“It is important for us to bring student-athletes back to campus in a thoughtful and deliberate fashion, one that ensures we are following best practices and meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) guidelines for the sake of everyone’s health and safety,” Senter said in a press release.
