SAN ANTONIO — UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor on Tuesday announced that he has named Hunter Rittimann as the program's Director of High School Relations.
Among his many duties in his new role, Rittimann will focus on building and maintaining collaborative relationships with high school coaches and administrators as permissible within NCAA bylaws. He also will serve as a liaison between the UTSA staff and Texas High School Coaches Association and help organize clinics and practice visits.
A veteran of the UTSA staff since 2018, Rittimann previously was a graduate assistant for the offense for the past four seasons.
In 2021, Rittimann worked with the tight ends and helped the Roadrunners post a 12-2 record, earn a national ranking as high as No. 15, capture the Conference USA Championship with a 49-41 win over WKU and make their second straight and third overall bowl game. The offense set single-season program records for total points (516), points per game (36.9), first downs (320), total offense (6,146), yards per game (439.0), passing yards (3,577), passing yards per game (255.5) and passing touchdowns (27).
Rittimann helped mentor the wide receivers for his first three years on the UTSA staff. In 2020, the unit combined for 170 receptions, 1,923 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, while helping lead a balanced offensive attack that piled up 2,399 passing yards and a school-record 2,585 rushing yards. UTSA won seven games, finished second in the C-USA West Division and made the program's first bowl appearance since 2016.
During his time as a graduate assistant, he also helped coordinate on-campus events such as junior days as well as official and unofficial visits.
Rittimann was a member of the Texas Tech football program in 2014-16 under Kliff Kingsbury, playing quarterback, wide receiver and on special teams.
He played quarterback at San Antonio Johnson High School under his father, head coach Ron Rittimann. He was a first-team All-District 26-5A and honorable mention Class 5A All-State selection as a senior in 2013 after throwing for 2,898 yards and 32 touchdowns on 158-of-252 passing.
Rittimann earned his bachelor's degree in accounting from Texas Tech in 2017 and his master's degree in health and kinesiology from UTSA in 2020.
