steady, special-teams-minded UTEP defensive back with senior-season grit
Nathan Stukes brings a blue-collar profile that coaches usually love: a 5-foot-11, 205-pound DB who has been around the program, played special teams in 21 games for UTEP, and earned the Thomas Howard Walk-On Award in 2015. His value is less about flashy production and more about reliability, toughness, and being the kind of depth piece who can survive the grind of a college season. The stat sheet is thin, so the real appeal is his experience, versatility, and willingness to do the unglamorous work that helps a secondary and special teams unit hold together.
