Sixteen Cougars look to impress NFL personnel with all 32 franchises represented
HOUSTON – University of Houston Football will host its annual Pro Day event Thursday afternoon inside the Indoor Practice Facility where scouts from all 32 NFL franchises will evaluate each of the 16 Cougars participating.
The trio will be joined by defensive back Art Green, defensive lineman D'Anthony Jones, linebacker Donavan Mutin, defensive lineman/fullback Derek Parish, tight end Christian Trahan, defensive lineman Atlias Bell, wide receiver KeSean Carter, running back Ta'Zhawn Henry, defensive back Jayce Rogers, kicker Bubba Baxa, defensive back Thabo Mwaniki, defensive lineman Jamykal Neal and quarterback Ike Ogbogu.
Houston has had at least one player selected in seven consecutive NFL Drafts (2016-present), the second longest streak in school history. In total, 188 Cougars have been selected all-time including 10 top-two round selections since 2005. A season ago, three Houston student-athletes were selected, led by No. 33 overall pick Logan Hall.
