UTEP wide receiver and punt returner Marcus Bellon was named Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Week after his 47-yard punt return touchdown in the Miners’ 27-10 victory over Boise State this past Friday. 

At the time of the punt return the score was 13-10 late in the 3rd quarter in UTEP’s favor. Bellon’s punt return gave the Miners a ten-point lead and completely changed the facet of the game. This was Bellon’s first career touchdown for UTEP and it was the Miner’s first punt return for a touchdown since September 19, 2015 against New Mexico State.  

UTEP's next game is this coming Saturday on the road against Charlotte at 5:00pm (CT).
