Local walk-ons: Carmona, Minor, Torres

I'm hoping Will Levi is still participating here.... does anybody have any background on any of these three:


Raymond Brewer ‏@raybrewer21
Handful of 2016 grads from #702hsfb walked-on at #UNLVfb: George Carmona (Chey), Chris Minor (C-Springs), Angel Torres (DP)

Here are the basic links:

George Carmona - LB/TE - Cheyenne:

Chris Minor - WR/DB - Canyon Springs

Solid prospects but all a bit undersized at the FBS level positionally.

Carmona can develop as a 5'11 interior linebacker and special teams player

Torres in a nose guard prospects that was productive but is 5'11 and needs to add bulk

Minor is a 5'9 strong safety that has good run defense skill but needs to be develop as a pass defender. He can be a special teams player

All would need to be patient for a few years if they are to compete on the depth chart

Thanks Will! Hopefully you are seeing a trend of the UNLV staff working the local recruiting scene harder.

LVRJ's Todd Dewey noted three more local walk-ons:

I guess that playing at Chaparral for Acosta didn't get him enough notice to receive scholarship offers. If he has true 4.40 speed, then he could turn into a good players and end up with a scholarship in the future.
