Coaching Accomplishments
• Kenny Guiton was named Houston's Wide Receivers coach on April 21, 2017, after a four-month stint as a quality control coach for wide receivers at Texas.
• In Guiton’s second season in his current role, Houston receivers flourished as Marquez Stevenson earned first team all-conference honors from The American, pairing with Keith Corbin for two of the top three spots on the league’s touchdown receptions chart.
• Stevenson led Houston in receiving with 67 receptions for 947 yards and nine touchdowns. The sophomore finished the year third in The American in receptions, third in TD receptions and fifth in receiving yards. He led The American with five games of at least 100 yards receiving. He ranked fifth nationally with six plays of at least 50 yards and ninth nationally with at least 12 plays of 30 yards.
• Corbin finished the year second in The American with 10 touchdown receptions, part of his 38 receptions for 662 yards. The two were part of four Houston receivers with at least 30 receptions on the year as Courtney Lark added 32 for 509 yards and five scores in only eight games and Bryson Smith had 30 for 285 yards and four scores.
• Against Navy, Houston had three 100-yard receivers in the same game for only the eighth time in program history and the first time since 2008 as Stevenson, Corbin and Lark all hit triple digits.
• The 2018 Houston offense was one of the nation’s best, ranking fourth nationally in scoring offense with 46.4 points per game and sixth nationally in total offense with 528.6 yards per game. Houston scored at least 30 points in all 12 regular-season games and hit the 40-point mark in 10 of 12 games.
• Houston’s 2018 offense was the epitome of balance as the Cougars and Oklahoma were the only two schools in the nation to rank in the top 20 in both rushing offense and passing offense. Houston ranked No. 14 in passing offense with 300.9 yards per game and No. 20 in rushing offense with 227.7 yards per game.
• His first season in a full-time capacity saw two receivers, Steven Dunbar and Linell Bonner, finish in the top four in receptions in The American. Bonner finished third with 80 receptions for 889 yards and five touchdowns while Dunbar was fourth with 76 receptions for 1,070 yards and three scores en route to honorable mention honors from The American.
• The former Ohio State quarterback spent the 2015-16 seasons with Houston as an offensive graduate assistant working with Houston’s receivers.
• In Guiton’s two seasons working with the Houston receivers as a graduate assistant, the Cougars had a 1,000-yard receiver in both years as Demarcus Ayers (1,222 yards in 2015) and Linell Bonner (1,118 yards in 2016) each accomplished the feat. Ayers earned first team honors from The American, while Bonner earned honorable mention during their 1,000-yard receiving seasons. Ayers led The American and ranked sixth nationally with 98 catches in 2015, while Bonner was third in the league and fifth nationally with 98 receptions in 2016.
• As a student-athlete, the Houston native and Aldine Eisenhower High School alum, Guiton spent four years as a member of Ohio State’s program. He saw action in 22 total games with two starts in his senior season. In eight appearances for the Buckeyes in 2013, Guiton completed nearly 69 percent of his passes, accounting for 14 passing touchdowns to just two interceptions. He also ran for five touchdowns. In relief of Braxton Miller in 2012, Guiton either finished off a touchdown drive started by Miller or led the Buckeyes on a touchdown drive in eight of his 15 series at quarterback.
• Following the completion of his Ohio State career, Guiton was invited to Buffalo Bills camp before joining the LA Kiss of the Arena Football League.
