Local Guard with Projectable Size, But Still a Small-Sample Mystery
In the 2025-26 season, Diego Rodriguez saw limited action for UTPB, appearing in just three games as a walk-on freshman and logging a season-high four minutes with an offensive rebound at Eastern New Mexico; ESPN listed him with one game and one point, underscoring how early his college sample still is.[1][2] The appeal is his 6-foot-3 frame, hometown connection to Midland, and developmental upside at guard, but right now he projects more as a long-term fit than an immediate stat-sheet engine.[1][2]
