Matt Austin brings local-speed burst and depth-chart value to UTEP’s backfield
Matt Austin is a UTEP running back from El Paso whose appeal is more about fit, toughness, and upside than headline-grabbing volume. Public roster and recruiting listings show him as a 6-foot, 185-pound back who committed to UTEP out of El Paso Parkland, giving the Miners a homegrown runner with local familiarity and depth-value potential. Because current game-by-game production details were not available in the sources gathered, the best read is that Austin profiles as a developmental back whose value comes from physicality, special-teams utility, and knowing the program’s environment.
