Affidavit: SA prep football star, UTSA commit arrested on felony robbery charges

Cameron Grady, 17, faces two counts of aggravated robbery, records show

BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – A Sotomayor High School running back, who recently committed to UTSA, was arrested after a robbery at a west Bexar County house party, according to an affidavit.

Cameron Joseph Grady, 17, faces two counts of aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony, court records show.

According to the affidavit, Grady and a suspect known only as “Reuben” ripped chains from two victims’ neck during a June 28 party in the 2000 block of Creek Knoll. The alleged robbery happened 10 days after Grady committed to play football at UTSA.

As Grady and “Reuben” left the party, the two victims followed them with the intent of recovering their chains, the affidavit states. “Reuben,” then pulled out a gun and pointed it at one of the victims. Police said Grady then punched the second victim in the face, leaving them with a black eye.

Both victims later identified Grady as one of the suspects and told investigators they recognized him from “playing high school football,” the affidavit stated. The victims identified Grady in a photo lineup.

The second victim also told investigators that they were “struck multiple times from behind” by several “unidentified males.”

Grady was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on June 8 on a $100,000 bond. Jail records show he was released the following day.

KSAT reached out to UTSA for a comment.

“NCAA bylaws expressly prohibit universities from providing public comment on high school students, as the NCAA considers them a prospective student-athlete once they enter the ninth grade,” a UTSA spokesperson told KSAT.

Grady is entering his senior year at Sotomayor High School.
