📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Part of the ‘Runners Ohana. UTSA senior offensive lineman Venly Tatafu has been named to the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year Watch List.

Tatafu is one of 81 players who made the list for the award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding college football player of Polynesian ancestry who exemplifies exceptional ability and integrity both on and off the field.

A veteran of the offensive line since the 2022 season, Tatafu has played in 28 games and earned 22 starts as a Roadrunner.

🔼 A Foot in the Door. UTSA Athletics is a national leader in supporting first-generation student-athletes. Throughout the 2025-26 school year, GoUTSA.com will spotlight the department’s first-generation student-athletes, coaches, administrators and staff. 

Owen Pewee will be a redshirt junior on the UTSA Football team in 2025. Originally from Liberia, Pewee is a first-generation college student from Houston, Texas.

Q: Why is attending college and graduating important to you?

Pewee: “My family and I moved here to have a better lifestyle, to do better for ourselves and for me to have the opportunity that I have right now. It is important to me because I want to set the standard for generations to come … My mom has always been pushing me to be great, so I knew I just had to do it.”

🤙🏼 ONE BIG THING

All Signals Go. UTSA redshirt junior Owen McCown has been selected for his third preseason watch list of the year, as the QB was named to the Manning Award Watch List.

Earlier this summer, UTSA’s signal-caller was chosen for the Maxwell Award and Davey O’Brien Award watch lists. He is one of 27 FBS players, including one of three from the American Conference, who made this year’s Manning Award Watch List.

A product of Rusk High School, McCown started all 13 games last year and completed 294 of 467 passes for 3,424 yards and 25 touchdowns.
