EL PASO – The UTEP football team will kick off year two of the Scotty Walden era with 15 spring opportunities starting Monday, March 17, at 8:45 a.m. in the Sun Bowl.

The Miners will practice every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with two Saturday opportunities, including a scrimmage on April 5. The Spring Game is Saturday, April 12, at 11 a.m. in the Sun Bowl and will be open to the public.

All practices will be closed to the public.

Spring Football will see over 33 new players, along with 67 returnees take the field on Monday morning.

The 2025 Spring season will offer plenty of intrigue including a fierce battle at quarterback, where returnees Skyler Locklear, Cade McConnell, J.P. Pickles and Shay Smith will join decorated recruit Malachi Nelson in vying for the starting job.

UTEP will also work five new coaches into the mix this spring, including both the offensive (Mark Cala) and defensive (Bobby Daly) coordinators. Linebackers coach Brandon Butcher, tight ends coach Joshua Eargle, and outside wide receivers coach Desmond Lindsey are the other new additions.
