veteran UTEP DB with untapped special-teams grit
Martel Strange is a longtime UTEP defensive back whose value is less about flashy box-score production and more about reliability, experience, and versatility—he split time at running back and DB in high school and has been with the Miners long enough to understand the program’s demands. In the seasons reflected in UTEP’s historical roster data, his defensive numbers were modest, so he reads more like a depth-and-development fit than an instant-impact headline grab. If a team wants a steady, coachable defensive back who can handle multiple roles and won’t blink in a physical environment, he’s the kind of player to keep on the radar.
