UTRGV football roster expands
Timothy Chapman
Football season for UTRGV is getting much closer to becoming a reality after head coach Travis Bush announced Wednesday the addition of 41 players to the inaugural football roster.
Ten players were signed to the team Dec. 20, making the total for the team 51 athletes as of last week.
A UTRGV Athletics Feb. 7. news release states more new players will be added to the roster in the upcoming weeks for the 2025 football season.
Bush says in all of his years of experience at the collegiate level, he has never signed more than 12 to 15 athletes a year. He adds building a football team from scratch has provided him the best signing period of his career.
Bush says the foundation of the team will be built on mental toughness and great work ethic.
Vice President and Director of Athletics Chasse Conque says it has taken time to properly prepare the football program. An example being the new Vaqueros Performance Center, which is set to open in Fall 2025.
