🏐: SCOUTING REPORT

🔼 A Legacy in the Making. As Sombrilla Magazine’s Shea Conner writes, “Whenever any athlete looks to the western rafters of the Convocation Center, they see 33. It’s the number that Monica Gibbs wore from 2005 to 2009 as she magnificently put together three all-conference seasons for the Roadrunners.

“To this day, Gibbs is the only UTSA women’s basketball player to be granted the ultimate recognition of having her jersey retired. But some day, inevitably, 32 will take its rightful place next to 33 — and it will be because Jordyn Jenkins ’25 earned it the hard way.

“Jenkins’ status as one of UTSA’s all-time greats is cemented. She was a two-time conference player of the year, led her team to an American Conference championship and became the first Roadrunner to ever sign a WNBA contract.

“But on a spring day in 2023, her legacy in orange and blue didn’t seem so inevitable. During a routine offseason workout, Jenkins planted her leg awkwardly and tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee. As she laid crumpled on the court and the tears began welling in her eyes, she had doubts that her basketball journey would continue.”

🔼 Investing in Her Community. Hailing from Raymondville, Texas (pop. 10,236), a small town that is known as the “Gateway to the Rio Grande Valley,” Miranda Moya is making the most of her experiences at UT San Antonio to one day impact the community where she was raised. And, like nearly 45 percent of the undergraduate population at UT San Antonio, she was a first-generation college student.

Moya, currently a Doctor of Occupational Therapy student in the School of Health Professions, earned her undergraduate degree in kinesiology from the College for Health, Community and Policy in the fall of 2024. She was one of more than 100 students annually who serve as student assistants within the UTSA Athletics Department.
