Impact With initial UTEP starter Cade McConnell out for the season with a wrist injury, Locklear will be the guy if healthy. Notably, when Locklear went down, freshman JP Pickles stepped it to play quarterback.

Cade McConnell - Likely out for 2024 McConnell is likely out for the remainder of the 2024 season with a wrist injury, Bea Martinez of KVIA ABC 7 News reports.
Impact MCConnell isn't certain to miss the rest of the season, but it sounds as if that's the most likely fate for UTEP's starting quarterback. He tossed for 540 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions this season across four games. In his stead, Skyler Locklear should take over as QB1 in El Paso.

Kenny Odom - Nets 95 yards Odom caught four passes for 95 yards versus FIU on Wednesday.
Impact You can see why Odom also returns kicks for the Miners, because he is a big-play receiver. He's turned 23 catches into 530 yards and four touchdowns.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Jevon Jackson - Huge game versus FIU Jackson ran 26 times for 148 yards and a touchdown and had one catch for a 22-yard touchdown versus FIU on Wednesday.
Impact Jackson had disappeared from the offense with Ezell Jolly getting healthy. However, head coach Scotty Walden benched Jolly early after he lost a fumble. That thrust Jackson into a key role against a bad run defense, and he made the most of it. Now, the question is what the carry split looks like next week against La Tech.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Ezell Jolly - Honeymoon over already Jolly had nine carries for 41 yards and lost a fumble against FIU on Wednesday.
Impact Jolly got healthy and over his first two games ran the ball 44 times for 195 yards and a touchdown. He was the lead back to start this game, but after his fumble the back was benched and Jevon Jackson excelled. Was this a one-off lesson from a head coach already feeling the pressure after a bad start? Or Jackson see his role increase going forward?

Skyler Locklear - Called on to start against FIU Locklear ended up starting Wednesday against FIU after Cade McConnell (undisclosed) was ruled out hours before the game. He went 14-for-23 for 161 yards, one touchdown, and one int...
Impact Locklear was able to lead the Miners to a win, their first of the season. He hasn't been any worse than McConnell, so there is no reason for UTEP to rush him back if he's injured with a game coming up Tuesday against La Tech.
OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Cade McConnell - Out against FIU McConnell (undisclosed) was ruled out prior to Wednesday's game against Florida International, per Adrian Broaddus of ESPN.
Impact McConnell was seen in street clothes and ruled out of Wednesday's game in the hours before kickoff with fellow quarterback Skyler Locklear making the start agaisnt the Panthers. Wednesday marked McConnell's first missed game of the season, with the redshirt junior quarterback throwing for 540 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions through the team's first six games this season, though he didn't make his first start for the Miners until their Week 4 matchup against Colorado State. Next Tuesday's game against Louisiana Tech will be his next opportunity to return.

Cade McConnell - GTD vs. Florida International McConnell (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for UTEP's Wednesday night clash with Florida International, Adrian Broaddus of ESPN El Paso reports.
Impact McConnell was pulled from the Miners' blowout loss at the hands of Western Kentucky, and now it appears it was due to an injury. The severity is unclear, but if McConnell can't go, Skyler Locklear would be in line to start at quarterback come Wednesday night.

Jevon Jackson - Carries increase, yards decrease Jackson (undisclosed) logged six carries for that many yards during UTEP's 44-17 loss Thursday at Western Kentucky.
Impact Unlike when UTEP hosted Sam Houston for their game on Oct. 3, Jackson logged more than five carries at Western Kentucky. However, he recorded single-digit yardage this Thursday. Ezell Jolly logged 44 carries for 195 yards and one touchdown between the aforementioned games. They indicate Jackson is being used less, not injured.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Kenny Odom - Picks up long TD Odom can one pass Thursday against WKU, but it went for a 76-yard touchdown.
Impact Obviously, you don't want to see a guy only getting one catch, but the big play from Odom is not a bit surprise. Over the last five games he now has over 400 yards and four touchdowns. He's tallied at least 64 yards in each of those games, so clearly he can be productive and has a role in this offense, even if his workload was light against the Hilltoppers.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Ezell Jolly - Huge role in the offense Jolly ran 27 times for 119 yards and caught two passes for 21 yards versus WKU on Thursday.
Impact As soon as Jolly got healthy, he was thrust into a major role for the Miners. He had 18 touches last week, and had 29 this week. He's also over 200 total yards on the season and has scored a touchdown already, so he's doing damage with his workload.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Skyler Locklear - Gets back on the field Locklear went 11-for-17 for 82 yards and ran six times for 23 yards Thursday versus WKU.
Impact Locklear, who came with head coach Scotty Walden from Austin Peay, was the starter when the season began. He lost the gig to Cade McConnell, who stuck around at UTEP, but McConnell only got to throw seven passes in this game before being replaced. Locklear may be back atop the depth chart, not that it matters a ton.
OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Cade McConnell - Probably out as starting QB again McConnell went 3-for-7 for 96 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against WKU on Thursday.
Impact McConnell had taken over for Skyler Locklear as the starting quarterback, but he was pulled quite early from this game. Granted, it was a blowout, but it does seem like Locklear may get the starting gig back again. He's the one who was recruited by UTEP head coach Scotty Walden, after all.

Jevon Jackson - Participation dips in Week 6 Jackson only played nine snaps in Week 6, according to Pro Football Focus.
Impact It's unclear why exactly Jackson's participation dipped so drastically against Sam Houston, but he had tallied at least 35 snaps in every game prior. The tailback has logged 59 carries for 233 yards this season.
