Out Saturday Sperling (undiscloed) is out for Saturday's game at New Mexico State, per the Mountain West availability report.

Deemed questionable Sperling (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus New Mexico.

Impact Sperling was unable to go most recently against Oregon State but seems to have a shot at returning Saturday. With both Sperling and Tavorus Jones (undisclosed) currently questionable, the Miners may have to turn to the likes of Kam Thomas, Elijah McCoy and Chris Hunter.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing in Week 4 Sperling (undisclosed) is unavailable for Saturday's game against Oregon State, according to Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso.

Impact Sperling usually operates as UTEP's No. 2 running back, but he's unavailable for this contest, so Chris Hunter will see more work out of the backfield in his place. Sperling's next chance to return to action will come against New Mexico in a Week 5 matchup on Oct. 3.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Co-starting at RB Sperling is listed as a co-starter on the Miners' Week 1 depth chart alongside Tavorus Jones, per Adrian Broaddus of 600 ESPN El Paso.

Impact Sperling ran for 234 yards and a touchdown on 39 carries last season with Buffalo. He'll get plenty of carries for UTEP this season, but he'll open the year technically sharing the backfield with the Missouri transfer Jones.

Signs with UTEP Sperling has signed with UTEP, according to the team's X account.

Impact Sperling will transfer from Buffalo. During the running back's 2025 season, he logged 39 carries for 234 yards (6.0 averaged per carry) and a rushing touchdown, all his updated career-bests. Also considering UTEP's backfield depth, Sperling may be RB1 during 2026.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Week 8 Sperling (groin) is available for Saturday's game at Massachusetts.

Impact Sperling's services give the Buffalo team one of its top running backs this season. In four games this season, he has 29 carries for 191 yards and one touchdown. Most of Sperling's yards and the TD come from his latest performance against UConn in Week 5.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Eagles Sperling (groin/wrist) is out for Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan.

Impact Although Sperling was trending towards being active for the outing, he'll now be inactive as the Bulls take on the Eagles. The 5-foot-8 running back's next chance to see the field will be against UMass on Oct. 18. after Buffalo's bye week. He's logged 29 carries for 191 yards and a touchdown this season.

Expected to play Week 6 Sperling (groin/wrist) is expected to play in Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan, Jonah Bronstein of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Despite coming off a 100-plus-yard game against UConn in Week 5, Sperling is reeling from groin and wrist injuries that has made him a recent absentee in Buffalo practices. Yet, they are not a likely sign of what will come in Week 6, as the Bulls strongly believe he can play despite his multiple injuries. As a result, Sperling is probable for Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan.

106 rushing yards in loss Sperling recorded nine rushes for 106 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 20-17 defeat to Connecticut.

Impact Sperling provided a solid spark on the ground in the loss, tallying 106 rushing yards and a touchdown. The supplementary running back still played behind starter Al-Jay Henderson and should continue to moving forward. With that being said, struggles from the Bulls' passing front should give both rushers a chance to post big games in the upcoming weeks.
