UTEP football lands three first-team All-C-USA nods

UTEP kicker Gavin Baechle, defensive end Jadrian Taylor and right tackle Jeremiah Byers were named first-team All-Conference USA, the league announced Tuesday.

All three are leaving, as Baechle and Taylor are graduating after using their extra year of eligibility from the COVID season, and Byers has entered the transfer portal. He has reportedly already received offers from Florida State and Miami.

Defensive end Praise Amaewhule, running back and Parkland alum Deion Hankins, linebacker Tyrice Knight and long snapper Angelo Tejada were named to the second team, and cornerback Ilijah Johnson made the all freshman team.
