Tyreese Watson gives UTEP a steady two-way guard with proven mid-major production
Watson is a useful fit for a team that needs a poised, experienced ballhandler who can create on the perimeter and chip in defensively. In his two-year run at ULM, he averaged 10.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and in the 2025-26 season at UTEP he is posting 8.0 points and 3.3 assists per game. His value is less about flashy scoring and more about reliable guard play, toughness and activity on both ends, which makes him a solid rotation piece for a system that wants stability and smart decision-making.
