Matteo Juarez was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, the son of a factory technician and a school aide. Growing up in a bilingual household, he developed a strong sense of identity and discipline early in life. A standout quarterback at UT-El Paso, Matteo quietly led Conference USA in completion percentage, operating a clean and efficient short-pass offense. Known for his calm under pressure and team-first mentality, Matteo never sought the spotlight, but earned the respect of teammates and coaches alike. Despite being labeled a “low ceiling” prospect by NFL scouts, he remains driven by the pursuit of knowledge and mastery of the game. After graduation, he accepted a position as a community sports outreach coordinator, leveraging his platform to mentor young athletes across Texas. Though he rents a modest apartment in downtown El Paso, Matteo dreams of building a training camp for underprivileged kids. Off the field, he’s methodical, composed, and driven by purpose—traits that help him navigate both athletic and civic challenges. Resilient and deeply connected to his roots, Matteo values control, stability, and making a quiet, lasting impact.
