Given a prime time stage, former UTEP star Will Hernandez is going to use it to make a statement to help an El Paso charity.
The New York Giants' starting left guard tweeted that he will wear a set of cleats during the Monday Night Football game at Philadelphia with a UTEP logo on the right side and an El Paso Strong logo on the left side.
The goal is to raise awareness and money for an education fund for child victims of the Aug. 3 Walmart shooting through the El Paso Community Foundation.

"Excited to represent the El Paso Youth community foundation, this foundation will help students receive grants and scholarships toward college and a better future through education! Will be rocking these bad boys in the Monday night game this week!"
This is part of the Giants' "My Cause My Cleats" campaign for this game. After the game, the special cleats from all the Giants players will be auctioned on NFL Auction (NFL.com/Auction) with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the selected charity.
In Hernandez's case, it's the El Paso Victims Education Fund of the El Paso Community Foundation.
"I chose this organization because I wanted to find a way to help all of those that were impacted by the El Paso shooting," Hernandez said on the Giants' "My Cause My Cleats" page. "I think this is a way to positively impact the kids and help them get an education."
He tweeted pictures of himself holding the cleats.
His former UTEP teammate, Aaron Jones, also wore special El Paso Strong cleats when the Green Bay Packers opened the season with a Thursday night game against Chicago.
Hernandez has started every game for the New York Giants since being drafted with the second pick of the second round (34th overall) in 2018.
