Cougar duo recognized among nation’s best by Pro Football Network
HOUSTON – A pair of University of Houston Football standouts will enter the upcoming campaign with preseason All-America status attached to their name.
Houston senior quarterback Clayton Tune and junior wide receiver Nathaniel Dell have been named Third-Team Preseason All-America by Pro Football Network, the sports media company announced Monday morning.
