The Houston Cougars wrap up their 2022 season with the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns on Friday in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl.

Houston will send out starting quarterback Clayton Tune — an accomplished All-AAC gunslinger with nearly 12,000 career passing yards who started the last four seasons for the Cougars. When Tune walks off the field in Shreveport, LA on Friday evening, the Cougars were set to have minimal experience in the quarterback room headed into their 2023 inaugural Big 12 season.

That changed Thursday night when former Texas Tech quarterback Donovan Smith posted a video on his Instagram and Twitter announcing his commitment to Houston.
