After tearing up Conference USA as a sophomore in 2022, UTEP wide receiver Tyrin Smith entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Monday. Smith made the announcement on his social media pages, thanking the university and the city of El Paso in doing so. The Cibolo, Texas, native has two years of NCAA eligibility remaining. Smith broke out in 2022 for UTEP, catching 71 passes for 1,039 yards and seven touchdowns as the Miners went 5-7, narrowly missing out on a second straight trip to a bowl game.

This is the second year in a row that Smith has entered the Portal; he went in last offseason, before electing to return to UTEP. It's also the second season in a row that the Miners will lose their top two wide receivers (Rey Flores graduated in 2022). In 2021, UTEP lost Jacob Cowing (transferred to Arizona) and Justin Garrett (graduation). - KTSM

10/21/22 - Beau Corrales, rSr/2024, Texas State, 6-3, 214 (DS#72 WR) + More +

SMU's lesser-targeted receivers were asked to shoulder a bigger load last week against Navy. A week later, after successfully accomplishing their mission, the load might be a little heavier. SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee told reporters on Wednesday that wide receiver Beau Corrales, a transfer from North Carolina, is "probably going to be in the same boat as Jake Bailey," another receiver transfer whom Lashlee said last week would likely miss the rest of the season. Corrales, like Bailey, injured his shoulder in fall camp but did eventually return to the field. Corrales caught a combined six passes for 71 yards in two games played this season.

He suited up for last week's game against Navy, but didn't play. "He's tough," Lashlee said of Corrales. "He tried to go against UCF, he tried to go against TCU, because he wanted to, but probably for both him and Jake the best thing is to get them healthy and get their injuries fixed, so he's probably out." Lashlee said Corrales is "really a prime candidate" to get another year of eligibility if he wanted to pursue it. Corrales has battled injuries for the majority of his college career. He had three surgeries to fix a sports hernia before transferring to SMU. In total, he's played in eight games since the start of the 2020 season. - Dallas Morning News

His interception return for a touchdown was just the seventh in program history. - Sun Belt Football
