San Antonio ISD has named Rashard Colquitt as the new head football coach and athletic coordinator at Sam Houston High School, marking a new chapter for the Hurricanes following a district championship season.
Colquitt will officially begin his role on April 6, stepping into his first head coaching position with a program that is already coming off strong momentum.
Building a Program, Not Just a Team
Colquitt said his focus is long-term success and consistency, not just short-term wins.
I am so proud to be named the head coach of the Sam Houston Hurricanes. My goal is to continue to build the program, not just a team, but a program that is successful year after year.

Sam Houston football under his direction will feature “an up tempo, spread offense paired with a defense that plays fast and physical,” he said.
Experience Across Texas Programs
Colquitt brings more than a decade of coaching experience to San Antonio ISD. Most recently, he served as offensive coordinator at Aldine Nimitz High School in the Houston area, a role he held for the past four seasons.
