Houston Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans made it official on Monday afternoon … former Ohio State quarterback, C.J. Stroud, has been named the starter.

Stroud has been taking most of the first team reps lately in practice so it seemed it was just a matter of time before the announcement was made. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft has impressed coaches and teammates from the very beginning and it looks like the hard work is paying off.

The Texans open their preseason play against the New England Patriots on Thursday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
