The summer is a time for training, preparation and recruiting for most college sports teams, and the Cougars are no exception.

Houston has been busy this offseason, adding six transfers to its rosters, many of whom can make impacts right away.

Redshirt sophomore Deontay Anderson transferred in May from Ole Miss, where he started all 12 games his freshman year. Anderson was rated the No. 1 safety in college football by ESPN in 2016 but was redshirted his sophomore season.

The Houston native was teammates with junior quarterback D’Eriq King in high school, and his uncle, Greg Anderson, played basketball at UH with Phi Slama Jama.
