The Miners receiving corps continues to take hits in the offseason as graduate transfer wide receiver Devaughn Cooper has transferred for a second time in his college career. Cooper played in four games last season with 10 receptions for 147 yards before going down with an injury.
In 2018, the National Collegiate Athletic Association changed its redshirt policy to allow players that did not play more than four games to be granted an exemption for that season of eligibility.
Cooper transferred to UTEP from the University of Arizona, where he only played 12 games throughout three seasons before being dismissed from the football program in May 2019 for an undisclosed athletic department policy.
