Calvin Brownholtz brings dual-threat juice and veteran knack to UTEP’s QB room
Calvin Brownholtz is a former UTEP quarterback known for a dual-threat profile: in the 2022 season, he completed 37 of 63 passes for 512 yards and 4 touchdowns while also adding 151 rushing yards and 3 rushing scores, showing he can stress defenses with both arm and legs[5]. He also flashed big-play upside in game action, including a 190-yard, 2-touchdown passing performance against FIU in 2022[13]. His appeal is straightforward: he offers mobility, experience, and a scrappy, make-something-happen style that can fit an offense needing an extra layer of improvisation, though his interception-heavy moments suggest he’s better when the system simplifies his reads[7][8].
