Summary

Patrick Overmyer, a UTSA transfer tight end, committed to Houston.
Overmyer recorded 58 receptions for 627 yards and eight touchdowns.
He fills a void left by Tanner Koziol, an NFL Draft prospect.

The Houston Cougars have actively recruited from the transfer portal, recently securing UTSA transfer tight end Patrick Overmyer. Overmyer, a redshirt sophomore, has two years of college eligibility remaining and is expected to make an immediate impact.

During his last two seasons with UTSA, Overmyer recorded 58 receptions for 627 yards and eight touchdowns across 26 games. He earned First-team Freshman All-American honors from The Athletic in 2024, showcasing his playmaking ability. This addition addresses a key need for Houston, as their previous top tight end, Tanner Koziol, is now eligible for the NFL Draft.

Overmyer's commitment is a homecoming, as the Kingwood Park High School product played his high school football just 20 minutes from downtown Houston. His arrival provides Houston with a dynamic option at tight end, a position that has historically been maximized in their offense.
