UTEP linebacker Valentino Diaz brings proven backfield disruption
Valentino Diaz is a compact, productive **sophomore** defender at UTEP with a background of creating negative plays, posting 58 tackles, 12.0 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks in high school while adding a fumble recovery, which hints at a downhill, disruptive style rather than a passive read-and-react profile.[7] UTEP lists him at 6-foot-2, 245 pounds, and his size-plus-production profile suggests a fit for teams that value edge-setting physicality, pursuit speed and willingness to attack the backfield.[1][7]
