Trace Meadows brings freshman upside and downhill LB potential to UTEP
Meadows is a **freshman** linebacker for UTEP, listed at **6'0", 210 pounds**, and already carries a solid baseline grade of **63** in EA Sports College Football 26, which suggests playable, developmental value rather than finished-product star power.[1][2] His profile points to a compact, physical second-level defender who should be evaluated for toughness, tackle consistency, and special-teams utility more than raw box-score production right now.[1][2] If you want a young linebacker with room to grow and enough early tools to contribute, he looks like a reasonable fit; if you need an instant-impact veteran, he is more of a project than a plug-and-play answer.[1][2]
