UTSA releases 2026 football depth chart ahead of UTRGV opener

UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor released the team's initial depth chart ahead of the season opener against UTRGV on Saturday at the Alamodome. The Roadrunners face several personnel questions following a roster overhaul that includes a largely replaced defense and a transition in the tight end room. Third-year wide receiver Mekhi Anderson earned the starting spot at the Z receiver position, surpassing several transfers on the depth chart. The tight end position remains fluid, with Ty Rupe and Brandon Young listed as potential starters. Traylor noted that while the team continues to refine its rotation, final decisions regarding starters remain ongoing as the program prepares for its first game. The coaching staff intends to tailor the offensive scheme to the specific strengths of the active roster.
