After four seasons with the New England Patriots, Joe Houston will be returning to the collegiate ranks.
The Florida Gators plan to add the former kicker as a special teams analyst, as reported Sunday by 247Sports’ Jacob Rudner, with his addition not requiring a place on the on-field staff for the Gators.
Houston had arrived in Foxborough as assistant special teams coach in 2020. He did so after serving as an analyst in the kicking game at Alabama under Nick Saban in 2019. Coaching stops at El Camino College, Toledo and Iowa State were logged prior to then by Houston, who was promoted to special teams coordinator while with the Cyclones in 2018.
