The Houston Cougars had three players drafted, the highest number in nearly 20 years. Along with the four players signed post-draft, UH has a lot to be proud about. But, like the on-field results, head coach Tom Herman and the Cougars now have new, higher expectations to live up to.
Houston Cougars head coach Tom Herman has revitalized the UH football program in a matter of a year, and his latest achievement, getting three Houston players drafted, continues to build his reputation.
UH had not had three or more players drafted since 1997, and that's not the only exports that Herman has made this year, also seeing four former Cougars sign across the NFL as undrafted free agents, as seen below.
