Eleven Cougars were announced as American Athletic Conference team players, and head coach Tom Herman was honored as the AAC Co-Coach of the Year Wednesday.
Three UH players were announced as part of the all-conference first team, seven named all-second team, and one was an honorable mention in this year’s awards, joining Herman in the post-season awards.
Herman and United States Naval Academy head coach Ken Niumatalolo share in the honors of The American Coach of the Year in the American Southwest Conference.
In his first year at UH, Herman has led the team to its fourth-ever season of at least 11 wins, giving him the chance to join Kevin Sumlin as the only UH coach with 12 wins in a season.
