🤙The Official Newsletter For UTSA Athletics, brought to you by Cowboy’s AC & Heating

Good morning, Roadrunners Fam. Welp, the unofficial end of summer is upon us with the Labor Day holiday, and those of us who have strong opinions on the fall decor already taking over the aisles of every retail store might have something to say about that. The silver lining is that the best of UTSA Athletics lies ahead, including this weekend’s Battle for I-35 returning to the Alamodome (more on that below)!

As you’re barbecuing, swimming, and embracing the last of summer, please enjoy this sip-sized Brew 1-0. We’ll be back with your piping hot, Venti-sized edition on Wednesday!

🔼 Oh, Henry! UTSA running back Robert Henry Jr. rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns, but No. 19 Texas A&M pulled away in the second half for a 42-24 victory over UTSA on Saturday night in front of 107,521 fans at Kyle Field. Henry topped the century mark on the ground for his third straight game, doing so on a 75-yard TD dash on the first play from scrimmage in the second half, which got the Roadrunners to within four points. The senior from Lumberton, Mississippi, averaged 11.1 yards on his 16 carries, coming up just one yard shy of his UTSA career high of 178 posted in the win over Temple last November.

🔼 Into the Mix. Kurt Pottkotter, a veteran administrator with over 25 years of experience in fundraising and collegiate athletics, has been named Senior Associate Vice President for Athletics Development at UTSA, Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Lisa Campos announced Friday. Pottkotter arrives in San Antonio following nearly 15 years at SMU, where he most recently served as Executive Deputy Athletics Director and Chief Operating Officer.
