Owen Pewee is UTSA’s most seasoned defensive playmaker, now pivoting into a bigger inside role
Pewee enters 2026 as a veteran Roadrunner with real production and sneaky versatility: in the 2025 season, he logged 31 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 7 quarterback hurries and a pass breakup after playing in all 13 games and starting 10 at money backer[2]. UTSA has also highlighted him as the defense’s most experienced player, and he’s been moving toward an inside-linebacker role after adding weight to handle more physical work[8]. The big appeal: active hands, pressure ability, and enough football IQ to keep evolving; the fit is strongest for teams wanting a smart, twitchy linebacker who can chase, blitz, and help stabilize a defense[3][14].
