Josh Flores brings hometown grit and two-way pedigree to UTEP’s backfield
Flores is a local El Paso product who arrived at UTEP with a strong prep résumé, earning first-team All-City and All-District honors as a junior and senior and showing the toughness to play both running back and defensive back at Montwood High School[1]. His edge is versatility and competitive grit — the kind of back who can handle contact, contribute on special teams, and bring energy to a depth chart even if his public college production has been limited so far[1][2]. If a team wants a physical, high-motor RB with upside and homegrown buy-in, he’s a smart fit.
