Houston comes into 2022 loaded with talent on both sides of the ball as the Cougars will compete for the top of their conference. Quarterback Clayton Tune will be the leader for Houston this season coming off a near 40 touchdowns season a year ago.'
Tune will have a variety of weapons at his disposal at the receiver position led by Nathaniel Dell who hauled in 90 catches a year ago. Houston will add in a big time transfer from Oklahoma in Cody Jackson and youngster Matthew Golden to accommodate Kesean Carter who is expected to break out this year for Houston.
Defensively Houston will again be elite in 2022 after finishing the 2021 season as the 6th best defense in the nation. Defensive end Derrick Parish will be relied upon heavily to disrupt opposing offenses allowing the Houston Cougars defensive backs to wreak havoc all over the field. First team all conference player Gervarrius Owens will again be in uniform for Houston as he will lead a young group of defenders in 2022.
