🔼 Fielding All Opportunities. Junior James Taussig and sophomore Zach Royse of the UTSA baseball team both earned spots on the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team. 

The 2024 Academic All-District® Baseball teams recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. To be eligible, an undergraduate student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). A position player must have played in 90 percent or started in 66 percent of the team’s contests, while a pitcher must have a minimum of 17 appearances or 25 innings pitched.

🔼 Hall of Fame, Part Two? Former UTSA head football coach Larry Coker has landed on the 2025 ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame. A member of the UTSA Athletics Inaugural Hall of Fame Class inducted in October 2023, Coker is one of nine coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision who appears on the latest ballot along with 77 FBS players and 101 players and 34 coaches from the divisional ranks.

Under his leadership, the Roadrunners doubled their win total in year two, posting an 8-4 overall record and finishing fourth behind three bowl-eligible teams in the Western Athletic Conference with a 3-3 mark in 2012. UTSA, which was in its first year of reclassifying to FBS and not eligible to play in a bowl game, led the WAC in average home attendance (29,226) that fall.

Women’s basketball, women’s cross country, men’s golf, women’s golf, soccer, softball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, and women’s track & field all logged a perfect 1,000 APR for the 2022-23 year.
