Week 1 UTSA Depth Chart
- UTSA believes it has six to eight viable offensive linemen, but both tackle spots carry an OR designation and 6-foot-9, 320-pound redshirt freshman A'marion Breland has made a strong preseason push that could produce multiple early-season combinations.
- Mekhi Anderson won UTSA's starting Z-receiver job with a strong preseason and adds a speed element, while newcomers TJ West and James Madison made the two-deep and David Amador and AJ Wilson are projected as the most consistent early producers.
- UTSA lists Brandon Young and Ty Rupe as co-starting tight ends and is expected to rotate its backs heavily, with A'Marion Peterson and Brandon High both earning key roles through strong fall camps.
- Johnny Bowens suffered a season-ending fall-camp injury, but Eastern Kentucky transfer Jeremiah Bailey emerged as a defensive-line leader, while Cam Cooper returned from a major 2025 injury to headline a deeper edge rotation with Elijah Baldwin and Dylan Spencer.
- UTSA opens with Elijah Newell and Cam Upshaw at safety and Asaad Chapman and RJ Lester at corner, while Michael Petro retains the kicking job and David Amador and Mekhi Anderson handle return duties.

- LB/DB: UTSA's cornerbacks look primed for an impressive season but depth remains a concern at safety as the Roadrunners will rely on transfers in 2026.
