Eleven Roadrunners land on Phil Steele Preseason All-Conference Team

CLEVELAND — UTSA is well represented on the Phil Steele Preseason All-American Athletic Conference Team, as 11 Roadrunners have been recognized in the annual magazine.

A trio of UTSA players were chosen for the first team with Robert Henry Jr. at running back, Houston Thomas at tight end and transfer Isaac Hatfield at long snapper.

Wide receiver Devin McCuin and tight end Patrick Overmyer are second-team honorees, while quarterback Owen McCown and offensive linemen Jaylen Garth and Venly Tatafu made the third team.

Fourth-team selections for UTSA include wide receiver David Amador II, offensive lineman Kamar Missouri and safety Tyan Milton.

UTSA will kick off its 15th season of football and sixth year under head coach Jeff Traylor against Texas A&M at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, in what will be a national televised matchup on ESPN live from Kyle Field in College Station.

The Roadrunners then will return home to host back-to-back games at the Alamodome. UTSA will face Texas State in the Battle for I-35 at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6, before they match up with crosstown foe UIW at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13.

UTSA has four league games on the home slate with Rice (Oct. 11), Tulane (Oct. 30), East Carolina (Nov. 22) and Army (Nov. 28 or 29) scheduled to visit the Alamodome.

Single-game tickets are on sale for the home opener versus Texas State as the Roadrunners will aim to break the program’s home attendance record of 56,743.

Merchandise commemorating UTSA Football’s 15th season and featuring the official logo of the milestone campaign is available for purchase.

The official themes for home games, as well as single-game tickets for the remainder of the home slate, will be available later this summer.

The Roadrunners, who boast a 29-3 home record in the Jeff Traylor era, are coming off a seven-win campaign that saw them come out on top in four of their last five games. UTSA started that stretch with the program’s first-ever win over a top-25 opponent in the 44-36 home triumph over No. 25 Memphis and then closed with a second straight bowl win in the 44-15 victory over Coastal Carolina in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
