The Best Returning QB in Every College Football Conference for 2022

[Coach Andy Mac]

Conference-USA: UTEP's Gavin Hardison

Although WKU QB Bailey Zappe and Marshall's Grant Wells had bigger seasons in 2021 than Gavin Hardison, Zappe is out of eligibility, and Wells announced he's transferring to Virginia Tech in the ACC. 

Rising junior Hardison had a breakout season for the Miners in 2021, throwing for 3,218 yards and 18 touchdowns on the season. The season prior, he threw for 1,419 yards and five touchdowns in UTEP's COVID-19-affected season. 

Although the Miners lost the New Mexico Bowl 31-24 to Fresno State, Hardison led his team to seven wins for just the seventh time in 53 years and the 19th time in 104 years, per the Albuquerque Journal's Steve Virgen.

Hardison started his collegiate career at New Mexico Military Institute before landing at UTEP. The QB said in December that beginning his career there gave him good experience. 

"At NMMI, you have to be really disciplined with the military environment there," Hardison told Virgen. "Playing there elevated my football career. I was able to play against some great competition. Playing against tough competition elevated my game."
