UTEP RB Enters Transfer Portal After Limited 2025 Role, Seeking Fresh Start with Two Years Eligibility
Marquez Taylor, a 5'11", 171-lb running back from UTEP, is entering the transfer portal after a redshirt sophomore season where he recorded just 43 rushing yards and 13 receiving yards in nine games [2][3]. While his on-field production was limited, Taylor stands out for his academic discipline, earning the Conference USA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll in 2025 [1]. His differentiator is his high-intensity mindset and proven resilience; despite minimal touches, he maintained eligibility and now brings two full years of remaining eligibility to a new program [2]. For teams seeking a speedy, academically grounded RB who can develop into a contributor, Taylor offers untapped potential and a fresh opportunity to prove his intensity on a bigger stage.
