Grayson, Jeune and Trisby originally signed national letters of intent with the Miners a year ago, but were ineligible for the 2008 season. Grayson and Jeune are projected to play safety for the Miners, and Trisby is listed as a quarterback/wide receiver.
Grayson and Trisby will have four years of eligibility at UTEP, and Jeune will have two after transferring from Moorpark Junior College.

Jeune was tabbed second team All-Conference as a sophomore at Moorpark JC, where he tallied 57 tackles, three interceptions, three pass break-ups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The 6-4, 205-pound Jeune was a three-year varsity letterwinner at Malden (Mass.) High School.
The 6-2, 190-pound Trisby split time at quarterback and safety as a senior at Herbert Hoover High School in San Diego. A first team All-League offensive selection and second team All-CIF defensive pick in 2007, Trisby passed for 1,187 yards, rushed for 428 and added 197 receiving his senior year.
