The Houston Cougars have successfully recruited Patrick Overmyer from UTSA via the transfer portal, aiming to replace the production of departing tight end Tanner Koziol. Overmyer, a redshirt sophomore, is set to become a primary target for quarterback Conner Weigman in the upcoming season.
Overmyer brings a proven track record, having amassed 58 receptions for 627 yards and eight touchdowns across 26 games during the 2024 and 2025 seasons. While not as tall as Koziol, Overmyer offers a formidable presence at six-foot-five and 240 pounds.
