Son, it was an absolute joy to watch you play for me so to speak. I wanted to create you into something great but you became so much more! I never told you good job and how amazing you were cuz I always wanted you to get better and that was my way of continuously pushing you.

Never understood how these athletes get out of the city of El Paso when UTEP can see them everyday if they wanted to. I never seen a University so eager to get out of their own city to go and find recruits!.

To all El Paso athletes that feel left out or over looked, you have always got it out the sand (“mud” as the saying goes). Do not be discouraged, remember at the end of the day it’s YOUR DEAM and YOUR AMBITION to play at the next level. Attack it as such, prove them wrong again!.

I was told he had the strongest arm there and if no one knew who he was before the camp, they know who he is now!
Former Del Valle - current Colorado QB Steven Montez is one of 39 counselors at the Annual Manning Passing Academy. Great opportunity for Montez, who will get one-on-one time with the Manning’s. The skills camp is held at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, LA. #KTSMSports.📷: @cubuffs
