Jerry Cervantez is in his fourth season at Texas State as a volunteer assistant coach and camp coordinator.
Cervantez returned to San Marcos after spending the last three years as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Western Texas College. He was also a member of the staff for three years from 2013-15 at Clarendon College, where he was the hitting coach, recruiting coordinator and head of strength and conditioning.
His coaching career began as the head youth coach for ETRAIN Baseball Club (U14, U16 and U18 teams) from 2009-12.
The Bobcat alum competed in the maroon and gold for two seasons (2007-08). He earned a bachelor of science degree in applied arts and sciences in 2009 at Texas State.
He played in 75 games and made 54 starts (38-C, 10-LF, 5-RF, 1-DH) across his two seasons with the Bobcats. He compiled a .293 batting average (61-for-208) to go along with 36 runs scored, 10 doubles, three home runs, 32 RBIs and five stolen bases. He had a .989 fielding percentage (305 putouts, 46 assists, four errors) and reached base safely in 22-straight games during his senior year.
The Del Rio, Texas, native graduated from Del Rio High School and played for one year each at both Howard College (2004) and Alvin Community College (2006) before transferring to Texas State. He was an all-conference first team selection at ACC and helped lead the Dolphins to their first conference title.
Following the conclusion of his collegiate career, Cervantez played professionally in the United Baseball League for the San Angelo Colts (2010) and the Harlingen WhiteWings (2011). He also spent time competing professionally in Mexico.
