With the Cougars’ season ending in Las Vegas, it’s time to say goodbye to more than a handful of familiar faces who have made their marks in the Houston football record books. As these players hanging up their red-and-white jerseys, they leave problems that will need to be addressed for the next season.
Greg Ward Jr., Quarterback (2013-2016)
No matter how many players return, it will take some getting used to seeing the Cougars captained by anyone but Ward Jr. The leader and face of the Cougars is graduating.
Ward Jr. leaves a legacy of success, finishing with a 27-6 record as the starting quarterback, ranking second in school history.
