In a Camp Ruidoso defined by change for the UTEP football team, the linebacker spots serve as the sponsor.

Gone are last season’s three starters and the team’s three leading tacklers, Alvin Jones, Dante Lovilotte and Julian Jackson, and gone is the 3-4 scheme they ran.

In is a new system, nominally at this point a 4-3 but one that also uses a lot of 4-2-5, and at some point, a new group of starters will emerge.
