Chukwukelu keeps moving forward for UTEP

Denzel Chukwukelu finishes up UTEP career Bret Bloomquist, El Paso Times

Denzel Chukwukelu didn't arrive at UTEP five years ago as a ready-to-open package set for Day 1 football dominance.

He came in 2015 from the Dallas suburb of Rockwall with plenty of potential and ability and a desire to to realize it, first in the classroom just to earn him a shot on the field. From the day he arrived, he did what he knows. He went to work.

Forced to grayshirt while paying his own way to UTEP so he could gain academic eligibility, Chuwukelu did and was put on scholarship.
