Copelin Windfont is a young, physical UTEP linebacker with clear upside
Copelin Windfont enters the 2026 season as a redshirt freshman linebacker at UTEP, listed at 6-foot-0 and 235 pounds, after redshirting in 2025 and earning Conference USA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll recognition. He’s still early in his college career, but his size jump and development track suggest a linebacker built for downhill contact and special-teams value. He appeared in 2026 action with 1 tackle and 1 assist, so the sample is tiny—but the Miners clearly see a sturdy, developing defender who could grow into a reliable depth piece if his physical edge keeps translating.
