Max Gerlich brings Texas-size arm talent and dual-threat upside to UTSA
Gerlich arrives at UTSA with a strong high-school résumé: in the 2024 season at Austin Anderson, he threw for 3,095 yards and 41 touchdowns while adding 226 rushing yards and three scores, and he previously battled back from a junior-year knee injury. His calling card is the big-play ability to stress defenses vertically while still creating off-script with his legs, which makes him a fun developmental fit for a program that likes quarterback versatility. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he has the frame and production to matter — now the question is how quickly that high-end prep explosiveness translates to college speed and decision-making.
