The UTRGV football team's defensive backfield is looking to improve in its second year. The secondary had a solid debut season, with 11 interceptions, five forced fumbles, and four recovered fumbles. The team returns three starters from last year, including graduate student corner Dorian Blackwell, safety TJ Neal, and redshirt sophomore corner Alijah Prosser.

Blackwell is back for another year after being granted an additional year of eligibility by the NCAA. Further details about the team's fall camp and position room breakdowns are available from the source, providing more insight into the Vaqueros' defensive backfield and their goals for the upcoming season.
