EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – Four days before UTEP is set to face North Texas to open up a monumental fifth season under Dana Dimel, the Miners still don’t know if their leading tackler will be in the lineup.
Breon Hayward, who accumulated 108 tackles in 2021 to lead the Miners, has not practiced all fall camp as he and UTEP await a waiver from the NCAA that would grant him a sixth year of eligibility.
As of Tuesday, sources told KTSM that Hayward had still not been able to participate at practice, because an NCAA ruling had not yet come down. While UTEP is still hopeful he’ll play, it seems increasingly likely that Hayward won’t be able to take the field vs. the Mean Green.
