UTSA Recruiting Begins

Coach Coker has begun his recruiting, extending offers to some of San Antonio’s best. Including, “Brackenridge teammates Malcolm Greer and Earon Holmes and Altair Rice Consolidated defensive tackle Chris Dorsey have become the first players to commit to Larry Coker’s fledgling football program at UTSA.” (Source: MySA.com) The first steps have been taken and it looks like UTSA is moving ahead as scheduled.

The Roadrunners have extended offers to several other area players, including Brackenridge running back Willie Culpepper and Bandera quarterback Cole Hubble. Culpepper rushed for 1,506 yards and 13 touchdowns, while Hubble led the San Antonio area in total offense with 3,682 yards (2,091 passing, 1,591 rushing).

“I’m extremely happy,” Hubble said. “It’s my first offer, but I’m going to sit back and see what happens. That’s my dream, to play football. It would be great to help start the program there.”

Coker, who cannot comment on players until they sign, has said the Roadrunners will try to secure roughly 25 players for their first recruiting class. The team won’t begin play until 2011 in the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA). Though no timetable has been set, the goal is to eventually join the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A).
