Skyler Locklear brings dual-threat juice and veteran QB experience to UTEP
Locklear is a compact, mobile quarterback whose 2025 season showed both the upside and the edge: he threw for 1,418 yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions while adding 396 rushing yards and 8 scores, and he was trusted with 16 starts across his UTEP tenure. He stands out as a tough, playmaking dual threat who can create off-script, but the ball-security swing matters if you want a cleaner distributor. His recent form and starting-job pedigree make him a fit for an offense that values movement and improvisation.
