BALTIMORE, Md. — UTSA senior quarterback Frank Harris was named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Watch List by the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation, Inc., along with presenting sponsor A. O. Smith Corporation.



Harris is one of 48 players, including one of four from the American Athletic Conference, named to this year’s list for the award that annually recognizes the top senior or upperclassman quarterback set to graduate with their class.



This marks the seventh preseason honor for Harris this year, as the Schertz Clemens High School product also appears on preseason watch lists for the Davey O’Brien Award, Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, Manning Award, Maxwell Award, Reese’s Senior Bowl and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award.



Harris owns more than 30 school records and a 31-11 record as the starting quarterback as he enters his final campaign with the Roadrunners. The 2022 Conference USA Most Valuable Player and first-team all-conference performer completed 328 of 471 passes (69.6%) for 4,063 yards and 32 TDs and a 160.7 passing efficiency, all school records to help lead UTSA to an 11-3 record and a second straight league crown last fall. He logged seven 300-yard passing games, including a UTSA record 414 in the 45-30 win at Middle Tennessee, and he totaled 400-plus yards of offense three times, highlighted by a school record 423 in the same contest. Harris added 602 rushing yards — the program standard for a QB — and nine scores on the ground.



For his career, Harris has thrown for 9,356 yards and 74 touchdowns on 816-of-1210 passing to go with 1,822 rushing yards and 24 scores on 372 carries. He holds UTSA’s total offense record with 11,178 yards, which ranks fifth among active FBS quarterbacks, and his 42 career starts are the fourth-best total nationally.



The preseason watch List, semifinalists, finalists, and award recipient are selected by the distinguished Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, and former players. This year’s watch list was selected based on career player performance and expectations heading into the 2023 college football season.



The 2023 award winner will be presented the Golden Arm Award trophy by The Johnny Unitas Educational Foundation President, John Unitas, Jr., as well as other notable attendees at the Golden Arm Award banquet and celebration at the Four Seasons Hotel on Dec. 7 in Baltimore, Maryland.



The namesake of the Golden Arm Award has a storied history. Johnny Unitas was an 18-year veteran of the NFL, who played his collegiate career at Louisville before joining the Baltimore Colts in 1958. His career passing figures include 2,830 pass completions for 40,239 yards, 290 touchdowns and throwing a touchdown pass in 47 consecutive games.



Under the direction of two-time conference coach of the year Jeff Traylor, the Roadrunners are coming off an 11-3 campaign that saw them capture their second straight Conference USA crown and play in a bowl game for the third year in a row. UTSA has been ranked in the top 25 in each of the last two seasons and boasts a combined 23 wins over that span, the fourth-best total among all FBS teams behind only Georgia (29), Michigan (25) and Alabama (24).



UTSA, which has been picked to finish second in the AAC Preseason Media Poll and is receiving votes in both major preseason rankings, will open its 13th season of play on Saturday, Sept. 2, against Houston. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at TDECU Stadium and the game will be televised nationally on FS1.



UTSA will face Texas State for the home opener at 2:30 p.m. the following Saturday at the Alamodome. The Roadrunners will host Army at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 15, UAB on Oct. 14, East Carolina on Oct. 28, Rice on Nov. 11 and South Florida at 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17.

2023 UTSA Athletics Hall of Fame Inaugural Class



McKenzie Adams

McKenzie Adams was a two-time All-American and two-time conference player of the year during her UTSA career, which spanned the 2011-13 volleyball seasons. A local product out of Steele High School, she earned third-team American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America accolades in 2013 after receiving honorable mention the year prior. Following a standout debut campaign at Virginia where she was named NCAA East Regional and ACC Freshman of the Year, Adams transferred to UTSA and went on to garner first-team all-conference accolades in three different leagues — 2011 Southland, 2012 WAC and 2013 Conference USA — giving her the illustrious honor to have collected all-conference certificates in four different leagues. She was the 2012 WAC Player of the Year and repeated that honor in 2013 in C-USA, helping lead the Roadrunners to the regular season and tournament titles and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. She still holds several school records including single-season marks for kills (653), attacks (1,575) and solo blocks (32), and currently is playing professionally overseas. An excellent all-around athlete, she also played basketball in 2013-14, appearing in 16 games with 14 starts, leading the team in rebounds per game (5.7) while posting 6.2 points per game, 24 blocks and 14 steals.

He helped lead UTSA to the 1999 Southland Tournament title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The first Roadrunner to register a triple-double with a 33-point, 11-rebound, 11-assist performance against Louisiana-Monroe in 2001, he finished his career as the program’s all-time scoring leader with 1,922 points, which has since been broken. He also registered a 7.2 career rebound per game average and ranks in the top five in rebounds (751), free throws (478), steals (184) and scoring average (18.3).

Larry Coker

The architect of UTSA Football, Larry Coker was hired in March 2009 to start the program from scratch. A national championship coach in 2001 at Miami (Fla.), his hiring brought immediate national recognition and visibility to the university, and he delivered by engineering one of the most successful startup programs in the modern era. Following a practice season in 2010, UTSA set an NCAA modern startup program record when 56,743 fans filed into the Alamodome on Sept. 3, 2011, to watch the Roadrunners defeat Northeastern State, Coker’s alma mater. UTSA went on to average 35,521 fans — also a startup program record — for six home games.

The Okemah, Oklahoma, native coached numerous standouts during his tenure, including UTSA’s first All-American and NFL draft pick in David Morgan II and the first NFL first-round selection and three-time all-conference performer in Marcus Davenport, a fellow UTSA Athletics Hall of Fame Inaugural Class inductee.



Marcus Davenport
