what to watch for at the game?
Live tackling has been removed from most spring games to prevent player injuries. Despite this, here are three things to watch:
Quarterback Play - With Frank Harris's departure, the biggest question for the Roadrunners is the quarterback position. Since UTSA didn't add a quarterback in its recruiting or transfer classes during the offseason, keep an eye on junior Eddie Lee Marburger (No. 12) and sophomore Owen McCown (No. 13). Although they won't be getting hit, you can still evaluate their command of the offense, their progressions, accuracy of throws, and overall arm talent.
Team Chemistry - Observe how the players interact with each other and the coaching staff. While this should be a low-pressure and fun event for the team, head coach Jeff Traylor will look to get the competitive juices flowing to see how the players respond in controlled drills and scrimmage situations.
New Players - UTSA had some key additions through the transfer portal during the offseason. The top four players to watch are cornerback Denver Harris (No. 25) from LSU, linebacker Ian Jackson (No. 32) from Alabama, wide receiver DJ Allen (No. 83) from TCU, and wide receiver JJ Sparkman (No. 84) from Texas Tech. Harris is the headliner of the transfer class, being a former five-star recruit out of high school, and has all the physical tools to be a shutdown corner for the Roadrunners this year.
