UTEP True Freshman Safety Allen Gant: Sub-11 Speed & High-Impact HS Pedigree
Allen Gant, a 6'0", 190-lb true freshman safety for the UTEP Miners, brings elite sub-11.00-second 100m speed and a high-intensity playing style that sets him apart in the defensive backfield[5]. At Coronado High School, he delivered 66 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, and 4 pass breakups, showcasing the aggression and ball-hawking instincts UTEP needs[6]. Though he played only two games in 2025 before an injury cut his season short, his raw athleticism and fresh-man resilience make him a compelling long-term fit for teams seeking speed and intensity over the middle[9]. His Lubbock, TX roots and commitment to UTEP in November 2024 signal strong local ties and dedication[5].
