🔼 One For the Graham. UTSA assistant head coach and cornerbacks coach Nick Graham has been chosen for this year’s Dave Campbell’s Texas Football 40 Under 40, as the publication recognized 40 of the rising stars in the coaching ranks in the state of Texas. This marks the fifth consecutive year a UTSA coach has been honored.

A former standout cornerback at Tulsa and a six-year pro, Graham is in his sixth season as UTSA's cornerbacks coach and second as assistant head coach after serving as defensive pass game coordinator in 2023. During his time in San Antonio, the Roadrunners have enjoyed the most successful five-year run in program history.
