Since UTSA is in a reclassification year, the team and players aren’t technically considered in the FBS statistical rankings, but here’s how we would stack up in some defensive categories if we were ranked.
Redshirt freshman safety Nic Johnston would be tied for second in the nation with three fumble recoveries, only behind UAB linebacker Greg Irvin.
The team as a whole have eight fumble recoveries, which would tie them for eighth best in the FBS.
In turnovers gained, UTSA would be tied with LSU and others at #15 with 14 turnovers, and would be tied with Alabama with a +3 turnover margin.
