UTSA Football Recruit Arrested in Alleged Armed Robbery at a House Party

UTSA football commit and Sotomayor High School standout Cameron Joseph Grady has been arrested after San Antonio police accused the 17-year-old of participating in the robbery of two teenagers during a house party on the city’s West Side.

According to an arrest report, the incident occurred on June 28 at a home near Creek Knoll and Military Drive West. Investigators allege that Grady and another individual identified only as “Reuben” approached two teenage victims during the party and forcibly removed necklaces from their necks before attempting to flee.

Police say the victims chased after the suspects in an effort to recover their property. During the pursuit, one victim told investigators that “Reuben” displayed a handgun, causing him to stop chasing them. The second victim alleged that Grady punched him in the face, leaving him with a black eye, before several other unidentified individuals joined the assault.

According to the report, the suspects left the scene in a vehicle. One of the victims was able to recover his necklace before leaving the party, and both later reported the incident to law enforcement.

Investigators said both victims recognized Grady because they had previously played high school football with him and knew he attended Sotomayor High School. One victim later identified Grady in a photo lineup, while the second victim was unable to identify a suspect.

Grady has emerged as one of the top high school football prospects in the San Antonio area over the past two seasons. During his sophomore campaign in 2024, the 6-foot-2 running back rushed for 1,435 yards and 14 touchdowns on 174 carries, averaging 8.24 yards per attempt across 12 games.

Despite being limited to five games as a junior because of a hamstring injury, Grady continued to produce at an elite level. He totaled 895 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on just 77 carries, an average of 11.62 yards per rush—while also catching nine passes for 211 yards and six receiving touchdowns. He eclipsed 111 rushing yards in every game he played, including two 200-yard performances, further cementing his status as one of Texas’ premier high school running backs.

The investigation remains ongoing. Authorities have not released additional information regarding the second suspect, and no further details about Grady’s legal proceedings were immediately available.
