THE 300'S ARE OPEN!!! Looking more and more like this game has the potential to be a Top 5 most attended UTSA games in the Dome. Will we crack 40K??? Imma go with 39,068

September 6, 2023 – In a spirited effort to boost support for Roadrunners Football, UTSA Campaign Leadership Council member and local philanthropist Harvey E. Najim has committed $2 million to the program. In addition, Najim has purchased more than 7,100 tickets for over 60 organizations in San Antonio and surrounding areas to enjoy the season home opener on Saturday, September 9 at the Alamodome. Najim’s charitable gift will go toward an unrestricted fund managed by Head Football Coach Jeff Traylor, with $1 million donated toward the current season and $1 million pledged for next season.



This is the second consecutive season that Najim has made a bulk purchase of game tickets for the community. He and other university donors leveraged the Roadrunner Rally Ticket Donation program, a UTSA Athletics initiative that enables individuals or companies to sponsor tickets for groups or organizations in San Antonio and surrounding communities. Last season, Najim made it possible for more than 2,000 San Antonians to attend UTSA’s Conference USA Championship game against North Texas. The Roadrunners triumphed and took home their second consecutive C-USA championship.



“I’ve come to know Harvey Najim very well during my time in San Antonio. It’s clear he has a deep passion for the Roadrunners and belief in what we’re building here. This investment will have a huge impact on our program and student-athletes, and he continues to inspire others with his interest in raising UTSA’s visibility to thousands of community members," said Traylor. "There’s a lot of momentum for UTSA right now, but it will really take all of us to get this program to the level where we want it to be. I am deeply grateful to Harvey and all of our UTSA Athletics supporters for making commitments to ensure that our program remains competitive.”



This Saturday’s game against Texas State is the home opener for UTSA’s first football season as a member of the American Athletic Conference. UTSA was invited to join The American in Fall 2021 and officially joined the league on July 1, 2023. As a member of The American, UTSA will enjoy greater national media exposure, enhanced brand recognition, more matchups against teams from the state of Texas and expanded recruiting opportunities, furthering the university’s ability to compete at the highest level.



On the heels of its entry into The American, UTSA Athletics launched the Bold Champions in The Americancampaign, which aims to grow support through increased activity in four prime areas by directly supporting student-athletes through the Roadrunner Athletic Fund, increasing ticket sales to sporting events, enhancing and expanding athletics facilities, and developing stronger relationships with corporate sponsors.



"I'm incredibly excited about the future of UTSA Athletics, and I want to see UTSA succeed and triumph in The American,” expressed Najim. “The potential that the football program has to unite communities far and wide is remarkable. Initiatives like the Roadrunner Rally Ticket Donation program help cultivate passion and pride for UTSA Athletics. I hope that as more communities experience the thrill of Roadrunners Football first-hand, other donors, fans and businesses will be inspired to make investments that ensure the spirit of our UTSA Athletics program resonates across the nation."



Najim has made many impactful charitable gifts to UTSA over the years. In September 2020, he committed $3 million to establish the Harvey E. Najim Innovation and Career Advancement Center, which is driving the UTSA Classroom to Career initiative as part of the university’s vision to become a model of student success. He later committed $2 million to expand the experiential learning Center to the UTSA Downtown Campus, which doubled its reach from 500 students to over 1,000 aspiring entrepreneurs and future leaders.



“Harvey Najim continues to be one of the university’s most loyal and impactful donors. UTSA Athletics is extremely grateful to him for his generosity and his support in helping thousands of Roadrunners Football fans experience the opportunity to attend our first home game of the season,” said Lisa Campos, UTSA vice president for intercollegiate athletics. “It is this level of enthusiasm from our supporters that will help drive our athletics programs toward bold, new heights. With our new position in The American, we need everyone across Roadrunner Nation to show up and support our talented student-athletes.”



Other UTSA Athletics supporters including Pat Frost, Boeing – San Antonio, Bill and Sid Greehey, and Brad Beldon have also leveraged the Roadrunner Rally Ticket Donation program to make football game tickets available to organizations in San Antonio and surrounding areas. San Antonio companies, foundations and UTSA Athletics donors are encouraged to consider participating. The program allows donors to benefit both the university and community groups while simultaneously boosting fanbase support.

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.

-UTSA-

MOBILE, Ala. — UTSA seniors Joshua Cephus, De’Corian Clark, Joe Evans and Frank Harris have been chosen for the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl Watch List.



The four Roadrunners are part of a total of 26 players from the American Athletic Conference named to this year’s list.



Cephus, who also is on the preseason watch list for the Paul Hornung Award, was a second-team All-Conference USA selection at wide receiver and honorable mention all-league choice at punt returner in 2022. The Houston native caught 87 passes for 985 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 11.3 yards per catch and 75.8 yards per contest. He returned nine punts for 36 yards with a long of 17. He logged three 100-yard receiving games including a season-high 114 and a score on five receptions in the 52-24 win over Texas Southern. An honorable mention all-conference performer in 2020 and 2021, he has played in 51 career contests with 43 starts for the Roadrunners. He will enter his final campaign with 224 catches for 2,504 yards and 18 touchdowns, marks that each rank second on UTSA’s career list.



Clark, who also is on watch lists for the Biletnikoff Award, Comeback Player of the Year Award, Wuerffel Trophy and Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, was a second-team all-conference performer in 2022. The Fort Worth O.D. Wyatt High School product hauled in 51 passes for 741 yards and eight touchdowns despite missing the last five games due to an injury. He averaged 82.3 receiving yards per game and 14.5 yards per catch last fall and he set the program record for single-game receiving yards with 217 and matched his own single-game touchdown standard with three in the 52-24 win over Texas Southern. He will enter the 2023 campaign with 112 receptions for 1,559 yards and 16 touchdowns for his career.



Evans is entering his second season with the Roadrunners after transferring from LSU. A native of Haynesville, Louisiana, he earned honorable mention all-conference honors on the defensive line last fall. He played in 11 games and drew four starts, registering 18 total tackles, eight solo stops, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and two quarterback hurries. He posted three tackles, including 1.5 TFLs and a half-sack, in his UTSA debut versus No. 24 Houston, and he made three stops in the 41-38 overtime victory over Army. He also had a hand in three tackles in the 51-7 rout of Louisiana Tech and posted a pair of stops, including one behind the line of scrimmage, in the 45-30 road triumph over Middle Tennessee.



Harris, who also appears on preseason watch lists for the Davey O’Brien Award, Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, Manning Award, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, owns more than 30 school records and a 31-11 record as the starting quarterback. 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. The Schertz Clemens High School product 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 Reese’s Senior Bowl is widely regarded as the preeminent college football all-star game and the first stage in the NFL Draft process. The longest continual-running all-star game has taken place in Mobile, Alabama, the past 74 years. Former Roadrunners Spencer Burford and Tariq Woolen played in the 2022 game while Marcus Davenport appeared in the 2018 contest. The 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl game will be played Feb. 3 at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, and it will be televised nationally on NFL Network.



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.
