Justin Prince was always the most likely member of UTEP's secondary to reach the finish line Friday at North Texas.
The junior captain and safety has only been playing games for two years and he missed enough of 2019 to qualify for a redshirt, but in terms of production and generally just being there, that stint feels longer.
When UTEP lined up against Charlotte two games ago, their starting defensive backs were Prince, Dy'vonne Inyang, Broderick Harrell, Dennis Barnes and Duron Lowe.
Friday at North Texas, the starting defensive backs will be Prince, McKel Broussard, Ty'Reke James, Josh Caldwell and Robert Corner III.
