- Nick Lamaison
After winning MVP and achieving a state championship at Mt. SAC in 2010, former Mountie quarterback Nick Lamaison now continues his career calling the shots at UTEP. Up till last Saturday, Lamaison has collected 64 completions in 108 attempts for 891 yards with seven touchdown passes for the Miners. Lamaison is recovering from a shoulder injury that he suffered earlier in the season.
- Bojay Filimoeatu
Filimoeatu has taken his defensive talents at Utah State where he has collected 17 total tackles despite the limited amount of playing time. With 7 solo tackles (10 assisted), Filimoeatu knows where to go during plays. Along with his field awareness, the six-foot-two junior brings power and quickness to the Aggies defensive line making him more than a dangerous presence in the backfield.
- Matt Austin
Austin also plays at Utah State and is currently the team’s leading wide receiver with 13 total receptions with 170 total yards and a touchdown. Austin was part of the 2007 and 2008 Mt. SAC team that took runner-up during the state championships both years. His ability to leap and move with the ball has made him the go-to-guy, especially during one-on-one situations.
- Mike Edwards
Edwards leads UTEP in receiving with 25 total receptions and 346 total yards and a touchdown up till today. As a teammate of quarterback Nick Lamaison at Mt. SAC and now at Texas El-Paso, the Batman-and-Robin duo have once again teamed up to contribute in giving Texas a taste of that Mt.SAC one-two punch.
- Bruce Irvin
After collecting 14 sacks as a second-string defensive end last season at West Virginia, Bruce Irvin has continued his defensive onslaught already achieving 21 total tackles (11 solo and 10 assisted) with 2.5 sacks so far this season.
With the season halfway completed, Irvin has six more opportunities in equaling his sack totals–or going for 20 as he said he hoped to achieve for this year.
