UTEP’s 300-Pound Redshirt Freshman OL Entering Transfer Portal with Elite Snap Intensity
Jake Riggs, a 6-foot-3, 300-pound redshirt freshman offensive lineman for UTEP Miners, is entering the transfer portal after appearing in just 4 games during the 2025 season following UTEP’s disappointing 2-10 finish. Though his on-field stats are limited, Riggs stands out for his elite snap intensity—scoring on 8 total long snaps and 6 of his last 7 with an average snap time of 0.7 seconds during camp charting. His differentiators include a redshirt-freshman maturity level, a 300-pound frame that projects well for higher-level play, and a high-intensity personality that coaches value. With no reported injury history and a reputation for dialed-in focus, Riggs is a strong fit for teams seeking a physically mature, intensity-driven interior lineman ready to contribute immediately. Why care? He’s a data-driven prospect with elite snap metrics and a frame that translates beyond college stats.
