UTSA adds five to class on National Signing Day

Kaleb Brown (Austin, Texas/LBJ HS), Camron Cooper (Dayton, Texas/Dayton HS), Zah Frazier (Cedartown, Ga./Coffeyville [Kan.] CC), Tai Leonard (Houston, Texas/North Shore HS) and Venly Tatafu (Portland, Ore./Independence [Kan.] CC) all have inked with the Roadrunners.

These five will join 13 other student-athletes — Chris Carpenter, Zach Causey, Chace Davis, Tye Edwards, Payne He’Bert, Deandre Marshall, Owen Pewee, Ben Rios, Jared Sackett, Diego Tello, Brandon Tennison, Houston Thomas and Jace Wilson — who already signed with the program beginning with the early signing period in December.

The class now features eight transfers and 10 who are coming from the high school ranks. Of the transfers, three are moving to San Antonio from an FBS program while the other five last played at a junior college.

Of the 18 signees, 13 hail from the state of Texas with four from the Greater Houston Area, three from Central Texas and two each from San Antonio, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and East Texas. The out-of-state signees are from California, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Oregon.

Ten members of the class are offensive players, six are pegged for the defensive side of the ball, one is a specialist and one is classified as an athlete.
