SAN ANTONIO — UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor on Monday announced that he has named associate head coach Justin Burke as co-offensive coordinator.
A veteran of the UTSA staff since 2020 and a coach for more than a decade, Burke moves into the role vacated by Will Stein, who has left the program for another opportunity. Burke was an offensive analyst for his first two seasons in San Antonio before being promoted to special teams coordinator and tight ends coach prior to the 2022 campaign.
During Burke's time in San Antonio, the Roadrunners have posted a 30-9 record, captured back-to-back Conference USA championships and qualified for three consecutive bowl games.
This fall, Burke has helped lead UTSA to an 11-2 record and the C-USA regular season and championship game titles in his first season as special teams coordinator and tight ends coach. The Roadrunners currently are ranked in all three national polls, appearing at No. 22 in this week's Associated Press Top 25 and in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll, as well as 25th in the College Football Playoff rankings. They will end the campaign with a matchup against No. 23 Troy in the Duluth Trading Cure Bowl on Dec. 16 in Orlando, Florida.
Burke was a senior analyst for the offense in 2021 when the Roadrunners finished with a 12-2 record to set school records for most wins and best winning percentage in a season. UTSA was nationally ranked as high as No. 15 for the first time in school history and captured the program's first league title by winning the C-USA Championship with a 49-41 victory over WKU. UTSA capped the season with its second straight and third overall bowl appearance against San Diego State in the Tropical Smoothie Café Frisco Bowl.
In his first year on the staff, UTSA registered a 7-5 overall record, finished second in C-USA's West Division with a 5-2 mark and earned a spot in the First Responder Bowl.
Prior to his arrival in San Antonio, Burke was the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at USF for three seasons, spending two years on the same staff as UTSA co-offensive coordinator Matt Mattox. During his tenure, the Bulls won 21 games and made a pair of bowl appearances.
Burke served as a quality control special assistant working with tight ends at Texas during the 2016 season. He also worked as an offensive special assistant (2014-15) at Texas. During his time at Texas, he was a part of the same staffs as Traylor and Mattox.
Burke was an offensive quality control assistant (2013) and offensive graduate assistant (2011-2012) at his alma mater, Louisville. During his time on the staff, the Cardinals won a pair of Big East Conference titles (2011, 2012) and had the nation's fourth-best winning percentage (23-3; 88.5%) over the 2012 and 2013 seasons. He worked with quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends, and he helped mentor 2012 Big East Offensive Player of the Year Teddy Bridgewater and first team All-AAC wide receiver Devante Parker.
Burke played quarterback at Louisville (2008-10) and North Carolina State (2006-08). He was a two-year letterman and started eight games at Louisville. A three-time All-Big East Academic Team honoree and a 2006 All-ACC Academic Team honoree, he was part of the North Carolina State honors program and earned Dean's List recognition several times at North Carolina State and Louisville.
