Less than two weeks after he was hired, Jeff Traylor has nearly completed his first staff at UT San Antonio.
Friday, UTSA confirmed that Will Stein has been hired as the Roadrunners’ wide receivers coach. He will also serve as passing-game coordinator.
Stein spent the past two seasons at Lake Travis High School in Texas. Prior to that, he was a football staffer for Charlie Strong at Texas from 2015-17.
Before he began his coaching career, Stein was a quarterback at Louisville. Stein got his coaching start in 2013 as a graduate assistant for Strong at his alma mater. After Strong left for the Longhorns, Stein stayed one more season to work with the Cardinals’ quarterbacks.
With Stein’s hiring, the new coach has now filled nine of his 10 on-field positions. Those other coaches are:
- Barry Lunney Jr. (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach)
- Daniel Da Prato (special teams coordinator)
- Nick Graham (cornerbacks)
- Julian Griffin (running backs)
- Jess Loepp (safeties/recruiting coordinator)
- Matt Mattox (run-game coordinator/offensive line)
- Rod Wright (defensive line)
- Kurt Traylor (tight ends)
Traylor came to UTSA after spending the past two seasons at Arkansas. Four of the assistants he’s hired thus far — Lunney, Da Prato, Griffin, Loepp — were either Razorback assistants or football staffers. Graham and Mattox were both at McNeese State for the 2019 season, while Wright is the only holdover from Frank Wilson‘s last staff at the school.
Traylor, the tight ends coach, is the brother of the new head coach. He came to the Roadrunners after two decades coaching Texas high school football.
