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.

I wonder why, with the free covid year, he should be eligible since he was a 2017 HS grad unless it is a grades issue.

I think you meant "wouldn't" rather than "should," but it sounds like a good question.  I have no idea.

He should be here

2022-R-Sr

Jacob Brammer was a 2017 HS grad also and he is playing at Vandy this year no problem.

I think I found what makes the two situations different.

He transferred from Marshall after the 2018 season. Might have lost a year of eligibility?

I’m not sure but in my mind, covid gives you 6 years to play 5 which this guy is still within.

Yet another excuse UTEP will use if they lose this game

Let them go nuts with every excuse they want. The salty tears will only bring us more joy.

Brammer was graduate transfer wasn't he?   Plus SEC gets the pass and NCAA kicks the little guys around.

Brammer’s situation is a little more straightforward. Used all 5 years of eligibility at UNT and is using his COVID year at Vandy. 

Hayward split his 5 years at 3 different schools. I agree with other posters that it seems like he should be eligible, but I’m guessing the multiple transfers is the reason for the waiver requesting a 6th year. From what I’ve read, it sounds like it will be eventually granted. Did someone at UTEP screw up and not submit a waiver until recently?
