Gutsy UTEP Sophomore QB with High-Intensity Drive Despite 2023 Struggles
Carson Meger, the gutsy sophomore QB for UTEP Miners from Plano, TX, stands out for his relentless intensity and forward-looking personality despite throwing two critical second-half interceptions in the 2023 loss to Tulsa (57-28). With 1,183 career yards, 3 TDs, and 8 INTs, his 60.5% completion rate shows raw potential, but his differentiator is his emotional resilience—he openly talked about embracing the future after a disappointing home finish. While his injury history isn't public, his high-pressure mindset and willingness to lead under fire make him a compelling fit for teams needing a QB who won't quit, even if he needs refinement in decision-making.
