Nutrition services, which is more of the dietician side, where we do one-on-one counseling with student-athletes, education and providing nutrition recommendations…The other side that we provide is the food-service side. We oversee the fueling stations, providing all of the fueling options, all of the snacks, pre-made smoothies, RTDs [ready-to-drink protein options] and ordering the supplements that we provide…”

🔼 Justin Time. UTSA offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Justin Burke has been chosen for Dave Campbell’s Texas Football 40 Under 40, a publication that recognized 40 of the rising stars in the coaching ranks in the state of Texas. This marks the fourth consecutive year a UTSA coach has been honored.

A veteran of the UTSA staff since 2020, Burke is in his second season as the Roadrunners’ offensive coordinator and his first coaching the quarterbacks. In his first full season as offensive coordinator, Burke helped guide the Roadrunners to a 9-4 overall record, a 7-1 mark for a third-place finish in their American Athletic Conference debut campaign and the program’s first bowl win with a 35-17 victory over Marshall in the 2023 Frisco Bowl.
