Is it reasonable to think that Nelson’s INTs and staring down receivers is due to still learning the playbook? Or is that the orange koolaid talking?

Could be a little of both, but too early. 100% though he shouldn’t have been expected to be ahead of Skylar or Shay in spring ball. He is literally learning a whole new playbook. Let’s see how it if he improves by fall!

It’s pretty clear that no matter how the season goes, good or bad, he’s only sticking around for one year.

That’s true. If he does well, he will go to a bigger school. If he stinks, he will go and try it at a similar or smaller school. Where they will celebrate his 5 star status and make outrageous predictions like some did here.

The offense looks the same as last year. Even the same old sideline passes that would end up nowhere are still being used. I had high hopes that Malachi Nelson would make UTEP great but he looks awful. No wonder he couldn't make it at USC and Boise State. Not impressed by the QB situation and no changes to the offense. I would be surprised if UTEP breaks .500 this season.

Why did u think Walden’s offensive would change, that’s shame on you. His offensive is his offense, period. The effectiveness of how it’s ran is what matters and will determine how the season goes. Oh and also it was spring ball and Nelson should’ve looked awful in a new offense, I don’t know if you know how football and practices work?!

Agree or disagree …. I think the freshman class is where you should be looking … with all this portal nonsense I think it’s harder than ever before to get a d-1 scholarship coming from high school outside your 4-5 star players …

UTEP should be recruiting international and high school players. Fill out the roster with portal and jucos if needed.

It's the playbook, he has an arm and can be accurate. He could have taken more NIL money (elsewhere,) I think if he sticks it out through fall, he will eventually be the starter. Let's not kid ourselves, Walden is going to have Skyler start. Smith looked good though, and I hope he gets a legit shot. Personally, I think things look much better going into year 2 with Walden. They really need to snag an experienced WR. I would be shocked to not see Nelson as the starter come conference play.

You think? I like that Locklear is making a strong case for the job, but I wonder if Malachi was promised first crack. Ultimately if the job wasn’t promised to Malachi the job will be won/lost not in the fall and not spring ball. What I don’t want is for the QBs to platoon like they were doing last year.
But this is where I wonder if the constant transferring has hurt Malachi’s development. Changing QBs and systems the last three years may have hurt his development.

I was going to say the same thing: look at the schools we are competing for players with. SMH. Most of the schools we are competing with are not even good or average mid majors. And not only that, but we can’t even get these kind of players to commit to us.

-Skylar was head and shoulders above the rest.
-Malachi looked as if he was still learning the offense and getting into the rhythm of things. He did OK.
-Shay played well and better than Malachi but still stares down WR's and tends to go only to #26.


I also believe there were scouts from 2025 opponents at the game so they kept it simple. Don't get it twisted, Malachi will be your starter. He'll be better come the season opener. Better than Skylar? IDK. But he will start.
