“Being named Alamo Heights Head Football Coach is both a humbling honor and a responsibility I don’t take lightly,” says Nerio. “It represents years of growth, sacrifice, and a deep commitment to developing student athletes not just as athletes, but as leaders and individuals of character. Alamo Heights is a truly special place, and it means so much to my family and me to continue being part of a community that values people, relationships, and purpose the way this one does. This opportunity means more than a title- it’s a chance to build a culture rooted in discipline, accountability, and purpose. I’m grateful for the trust that’s been placed in me. I’m driven to serve this program, our players, and the community with integrity, and passion.”

“We are going to get our players to buy into our ‘Heights Way’ of culture,” Nerio added. “It will all be built on a firm foundation and identity of being the hardest working team, toughest team, and competitive in all that we do. We are going to lean on our program pillars of being an elite person, an elite player, and an elite student. Alamo Heights is a special place where our kids come back home to raise their families and we will take pride in the fact that we are building the future leaders of our community.”
