EL PASO, TEXAS – UTEP running back
Treyvon Hughes has been named to the 2019 InTouch Credit Union Conference USA Football All-Academic Team after excelling both on the field and in the classroom for the Miners.
Hughes, a four-year letterman for the Miners, is one of 11 C-USA football student-athletes named to this year's All-Academic Team, while a total of 10 schools are represented on the team.
The senior back boasts a 3.42 GPA as a graduate student in UTEP's leadership studies master's program. Additionally, Hughes was named to the 2019 Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll last spring.
On the gridiron, Hughes led the Miners this season in carries (167), rushing yards (682) and rushing touchdowns (12). His 12 touchdowns on the year ranked second in Conference USA and 20th nationally, while he scored a touchdown in all but four games for the Miners this season.
Over the course of his senior campaign, Hughes became the first UTEP player to rush for 10 or more touchdowns in a season since Aaron Jones had 17 in 2016, while he also rushed for multiple scores in a game on three separate occasions in 2019, including scoring three touchdowns in a road game at North Texas.
