Spencer Ross was hired in January 2016 as an assistant football strength & conditioning coach and promoted to UTSA's Associate Director for Football Strength & Conditioning one year later.
In his first two years on the football staff, Ross has helped the Roadrunners to 12 wins and back-to-back seasons of becoming bowl eligible.
“I give all glory to God and I want to thank head coach Frank Wilson and head football strength & conditioning coach Ryan Filo, both of who mentored me at LSU, for giving me the opportunity to impact the lives of student-athletes," Ross said.
Ross joined the Roadrunners staff working with the strength & conditioning program at LSU and the NFL's Detroit Lions under the tutelage of Tommy Moffit and Harold Nash.
Ross is a member of the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) and the Certified Strength & Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCA). He has a Level I Sports Performance Coach Certification from USA Weightlifting (USAW).

He started his prep coaching career as an assistant coach for linebackers at Edna Karr High School in his hometown of New Orleans. He helped the Cougars win their first high school state championship in 1993.
Ross was head football coach at Joseph S. Clark Preparatory High School, where he guided the Bulldogs to their first playoff appearance in more than 44 years in 1999.
He also was dean of students and a special education teacher in the Louisiana Recovery School District from 2009-12.
Ross was strength & conditioning coach at Peabody Magnet High School, a perennial basketball powerhouse in Alexandria, La., from 2012-14.
A linebacker for Southern in the early 1990s, he earned his associate’s degree in criminal justice in 1991 and his bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1992, both from Southern. Ross received his master’s degree in education from Duplichain University in 2013.
