Larry Coker
Coker was hired in 2009 to build UTSA’s football program from the ground up. He arrived from the University of Miami, where he won a national championship in his first season as head coach in 2001. Under Coker, UTSA quickly gained national attention. After a practice season in 2010, the Roadrunners set an NCAA modern startup record when 56,743 fans packed the Alamodome on Sept. 3, 2011, for UTSA’s inaugural game, a win over Northeastern State, Coker’s alma mater. In his second season, UTSA went 8–4 and finished fourth in the Western Athletic Conference. The Roadrunners joined Conference USA in 2013 and finished 7–5 against a schedule that included seven bowl teams. Coker retired in 2016 after five seasons at UTSA with 26 wins and finished his coaching career with an 86–47 record and four bowl appearances.
James Feigen
Feigen built an elite swimming resume that spanned high school, college and international competition. At Winston Churchill High School, he won multiple UIL Class 5A state medals and set national records in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle during his senior season, earning National Boys High School Swimmer of the Year honors. At the University of Texas, Feigen won 18 Big 12 gold medals, earned 24 NCAA All-America honors and captured three NCAA championships. A member of the U.S. national team from 2009 to 2016, he won Olympic silver in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay at the 2012 London Games and gold in the same event at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, along with a gold medal at the 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships.
Frank Harris
Harris is one of the most influential players in UTSA football history, playing seven seasons at quarterback. He led the Roadrunners to four winning seasons, two Conference USA championships and four bowl appearances. Harris was named the 2022 Conference USA Most Valuable Player, earned first-team all-conference honors twice and set more than 30 school records. A graduate of Samuel Clemens High School in Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD, Harris was a four-year starting quarterback who earned all-state honors as a junior and guided his team to its deepest playoff run since 2006.
Tameka Roberts-Nuñez
Roberts-Nuñez, a Corpus Christi native, competed at UTSA for three seasons and established herself as one of the most decorated athletes in program history. She was an eight-time All-American in the 100 meters, 200 meters and long jump and won 17 Southland Conference titles. She was named Southland Conference Indoor Athlete of the Year all three years and Outdoor Athlete of the Year twice, along with five Southland Outstanding Track Performer honors. Roberts-Nuñez was the high-point scorer at the Southland Conference Indoor meet three times and once outdoors. She still holds conference records in the 55-, 100- and 200-meter events, ranks second all time in the long jump and owns the Southland Outdoor meet record in the long jump. She also continues to hold UTSA school records in the 100 meters, indoor and outdoor 200 meters, and long jump.
1971 Robert E. Lee High School football team
The 1971 Robert E. Lee High School football team captured the Texas Class 4A state championship with a 28–27 victory over Wichita Falls in the first high school football game ever played at Texas Stadium. The game was a rematch of the 1969 state title contest, which Wichita Falls had won. Lee trailed 27–21 late in the fourth quarter before quarterback Tommy Kramer led a comeback and kicked the game-winning extra point after a late touchdown. Kramer finished the season with a then state-record 2,588 passing yards and 28 touchdown passes, while wide receiver Richard Osborne set a state record with 86 receptions for 1,429 yards. The team finished 14–0–1 and claimed the school’s first state championship.
