Traylor hires Brad Sherrod as linebackers coach

SAN ANTONIO — UTSA head football coach Jeff Traylor on Tuesday announced that he has hired Brad Sherrod, a coaching veteran for more than two decades, as the program's linebackers coach. His appointment is effective immediately.

Sherrod's hiring completes the Roadrunners' full-time assistant coaching staff of 10 and he joins fellow defensive coaches Jess Loepp (co-defensive coordinator/safeties), Rod Wright (co-defensive coordinator/defensive line) and Nick Graham (cornerbacks).

Sherrod, who spent more than a decade on the coaching staff at his alma mater, Duke, comes to UTSA from Tennessee State, where he was the Tigers' safeties coach in 2020, a season that was postponed to this spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
