UTSA freshman LB Mark Rayson III brings upside, toughness, and special-teams-ready juice
Mark Rayson III entered UTSA as a freshman linebacker/money backer from First Baptist Academy with a physical 6-1/6-2, 200-205 frame and a reputation for production and versatility. In his 2025 freshman season, he appeared in two games and logged a solo tackle plus a pass breakup, a tiny sample but a clean glimpse of athletic willingness and activity. His recruiting profile points to a multi-sport athlete with defensive playmaking instincts, and UTSA clearly values his growth trajectory. If you want a young, energetic defender with room to develop into a reliable fit, he’s a worthwhile watch.
