Jameill Showers brought a strong arm and dual-threat upside to UTEP
Showers was a strong-armed quarterback who entered UTEP with starting experience, quick transfer eligibility, and the kind of physical tools that can tilt a game when he is confident and protected. In his 2014 season at UTEP, he completed 56.9% of his passes for 1,263 yards, 11 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, showing enough efficiency to lead the team while adding veteran poise from his Texas A&M background[6][9]. His appeal was his ability to push the ball vertically and give an offense a more proven passing profile than most C-USA options[2][5].
