Cougars Ink 14 in Early Signing Period

A closer look at Houston's 14 early signees.

HOUSTON –For the second straight season with the NCAA’s early signing period, the Houston Football program welcomed its newest members from the site of its bowl location, part of an American Athletic Conference’s longest active streak of six straight bowls.

Wednesday from Fort Worth, Houston welcomed 14 newcomers as it continues to prepare for Saturday’s Armed Forces Bowl showdown against Army.

The group is composed of three junior college transfers and 11 high school seniors with 11 hailing from the state of Texas and one each from Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Receiver De’Corian “JT” Clark was the first signee for Houston as the O.D. Wyatt product from Fort Worth was the first to have his National Letter of Intent approved at 7:03 a.m.

Two of the signees will join the Houston program beginning in January as junior linebacker Terrance Edgeston and freshman quarterback Levi Williams make their way to the UH campus.

With five of the 25 allowed signings per year already taken from 2018 transfers Deontay Anderson, Quentin Dormady, Raelon Singleton, Nick Watkins and Terrance Williams, Houston has six remaining spots in the 2019 class.

The early signing period runs through the end of day Friday with National Signing Day scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Feb. 6.
