Let’s meet Rashad. He’s a senior majoring in cybersecurity. He also plays safety for the UTSA football team. As a student athlete, Rashad has definitely experienced Roadrunner spirit and he is also given Roadrunner Nation a lot to cheer about. You’re up, Rashad.

– Thank you, Alex. Hey, everyone. I chose UTSA for many reasons. First, I wanted my majors to involve technology and our cybersecurity program, one of the best in the nation. Second, I wanted to play football, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do just that. Finally, being from San Antonio, it was an added bonus to stay close to home and help build the UTSA athletics program. I made the decision to commit to UTSA when I was 17. Looking back, it was the best decision I could have made. UTSA athletics is full of passion. That fits who I am and the character of my family. Our coaches and staff make me feel supported, both as a student and as a athlete. Just one example of that unwavering support is the Roadrunner Athletics Center of Excellence. It’s our hub for building our strength and balancing our lives as student athletes so we can succeed in school and on the field. Let me tell you, Roadrunner spirit is unbelievable. It’s a vibe that you can feel when you’re on campus or at a game. Campus life really comes alive when there is an event of some kind going on. Playing in Alamo Dome, things can be pretty rowdy, especially when you have 40,000 fans all screaming at the top of their lungs. When I’m on the field and I hear that roar Roadrunner spirit, it’s like nothing else. I have learned a lot in my time here. This university has given me resource to be successful in whatever I do in life. The future for UTSA and for me is bright. Back to you, Alex.

– Your future is bright indeed, Rashad, and that Roadrunner spirit from all the students was truly rowdy. What do you think, Rowdy? Thanks again, Rashad, and go Roadrunners.
