UTSA Roadrunners
UTSA Roadrunners are under the leadership of their new head coach Jeff Taylor. The team has a few changes to their squad, but eight starters will return from the offensive end. The quarterback position will be taken over by Josh Adkins and that will be a big change. Adkins was transferred from New Mexico State after his impressive performance. From the running back spot, Sincere McCormick will continue his spot. UTSA has a few changes to their defense as well since eight of their top tacklers are returning out of 10. Six are expected to start while three safeties return along with a couple of cornerbacks.
