Coach Jaramillo- New Head Men's Soccer Coach at TAMU-San Antonio
If you ever seen Coach Jaramillo walking through the halls of Southwest High School, you would never know that he is a humble guy. Who else could have accepted the fate with such grace and dignity of missing out on making it to State due to the cancellation of soccer season because of a worldwide pandemic!
Coach Jaramillo grew up in Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico and moved to San Antonio when he was a freshman in high school. Although he didn't speak any English, soccer bridged the gap and he soon found friends at Jefferson High School. After high school, Jaramillo played club soccer with the Hammers for a few season and played with the majority of adult leagues here in San Antonio. He even played for two national championships!
After graduating from University of Texas- San Antonio, Jaramillo taught in Edgewood ISD. He eventually became a mighty Dragon and was the Girls’ Head Soccer Coach from 2013 to 2017. During this time, Jaramillo and the Southwest Lady Dragons achieved a remarkable overall record of 50-19-8. In 2016, the Lady Dragons finished as 5A District 28 Champions and in 2017 they finished as 5A District 29 Champions!
In 2018, Coach Jaramillo became the Boys’ Head Soccer Coach and that program began to blossom as well. From 2018 through the 2021 season, the Dragons posted an exceptional record of 79-12-6, which included an undefeated 2020 (Covid-19) season. The Dragons were 3-PEAT UIL 5A District 28 Champions in 2019, 2020 and 2021! They were UIL 5A Champions in 2018, UIL 5A Region IV semi-finalists in 2019, and UIL 5A Region IV semi-finalists in 2021. Due to his talent on the field, in 2020, the San Antonio Express News named Coach Jaramillo the Head Boys’ Soccer Coach of the Year. In 2021, Jaramillo was named the Texas Association of Soccer Coaches Region 4 Coach of the Year.
Although Jaramillo's new position will be a loss for Southwest High School, we wish you much success! Once a Dragon, Always Dragon!!
