🤙🏼 The Official Newsletter For UTSA Athletics, brought to you by Crepeccino

Good morning, Roadrunners Fam. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, it’s important to count our blessings, and UTSA Athletics is certainly grateful for Jimmori Robinson. The senior outside linebacker has been named not only the Walter Camp National FBS Defensive Player of the Week but was also deemed the American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his record-setting performance in the 51-27 victory over Temple last Friday night at the Alamodome.

Go here for more, including other football team members who were also recognized.

🔼 Birds Way Up. Jennifer ’93 and David Spencer have dedicated much of their lives to advancing UTSA and San Antonio’s military community through philanthropic generosity and medical innovation. As a couple, the entrepreneurs have launched various companies that have supported software development, health care solutions, and trauma care for the U.S. military.

The Spencers became involved with UTSA in the mid-1990s, during a period of growth for what is now the Margie and Bill Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design. They focused on supporting the university’s cybersecurity initiatives and improving the student experience.

Read the feature on the Spencers for more on their son and UTSA student’s role in their vision, their support of UTSA Athletics, and their internship program.

🔼  It’s Nearly Lights Out on This Opportunity. ICYMI! Roadrunners fans can own a piece of history, as UTSA Athletics will auction off selected Lights Out black football jerseys from the 2024 season. Proceeds from the jersey auction will benefit the UTSA Football program.

The Lights Out uniforms debuted on Nov. 2, when UTSA defeated No. 25 Memphis to earn its first-ever victory over a top-25 opponent. It marked just the second time in program history and the first since 2016 that UTSA Football has worn black uniforms.

The auction will remain open through 5 p.m. CT on Black Friday (Friday, Nov. 29), so time is of the essence. Go here for the full scoop, including bidding info!

🔼 No Food Coma Here. The UTSA men’s basketball team (1-3) opened the Trojan Turkey Tipoff with a loss on Monday at Trojan Arena, falling behind the hosting Troy Trojans (4-2) in the back end of the first half.

Pacing the Roadrunners on their first outing in Alabama, Primo Spears hit 20 points for his fourth game, delivering four assists with two steals. Damari Monsanto came alive from the perimeter, hitting a season-high six from long range to secure 19 points.

UTSA remains in Troy to face the Merrimack Warriors (1-5) today at noon CST at Trojan Arena.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: 5.5!

Jimmori Robinson's 5.5 TFLs are the most by an FBS player in a game this season, while his four sacks are tied with seven other players for the top performance in the nation this fall. He now has 15.5 TFLs this season, good for fifth on UTSA's single-season list and currently sixth in the FBS in 2024.

🤙🏼 Happy Thanksgiving Eve, y’all!
