In a year that has been like no other, all college football athletes will not have the 2020 season count against their eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Houston football program currently has 21 seniors on its 2020 roster and head coach Dana Holgorsen said he has started to have conversations with some of these student-athletes about their futures.
“Conversations are happening right now,” Holgorsen said Thursday evening on his weekly radio show. “… We’re having those conversations and we’ll continue to have them after the bowl game.”
Earlier in the week, senior linebacker Grant Stuard and senior defensive lineman Payton Turner both announced that they were going to forgo UH’s bowl game to focus on preparing for the 2021 NFL Draft via their Twitter accounts.
