Meet the five impact players transferred to the Cougars

The Cougars just had arguably their best season last year, but key players from that team have either graduated or left for the NFL.

Five new transfers, however, show the ability to prolong the University of Houston football’s success streak.

Duke Catalon

The Cougars’ top-three rushers (who aren’t named Greg Ward Jr.) are no longer with the team, leaving a wide-open race for a feature running back. Duke Catalon will finally begin his collegiate career after sitting out last year due to NCAA transfer rules.

Despite having never played a down in college, Catalon’s potential landed him on Athlon Sports magazine’s list of Top 100 Impact Transfers at fifth place.
