COOGS' HOUSE! Will Houston have the BEST Secondary in the Big 12? Host Parker Ainsworth discusses the recent addition of Keonte Scott to the Houston Cougars secondary and argues that this addition solidifies the Cougars' claim to having the best secondary in the Big 12. The episode starts with Ainsworth acknowledging the excitement surrounding the commitment of quarterback Conner Weigman and highlighting the growing trend of Houston attracting talented players out of the transfer portal. He mentions some other recent pickups including Jason Brooks and Jordan Allen. Ainsworth then dives into the topic of the secondary, acknowledging that they were already a very talented group last year. Key players returning include Latrell McCutchin, Jeremiah Wilson, Kentrell Webb, and AJ Haulcy. The arrival of Keonte Scott fills the need for a fifth defensive back, likely a nickelback or low safety. Ainsworth reunites Scott with his former position coach, Zac Etheridge, with the expectation of replicating the success they had together at Auburn. Ainsworth talks about Scott's strengths, including his tackling ability, versatility to play multiple positions, and ability to fill in the run game. He highlights the benefit this has on the entire secondary as receivers are more hesitant when they see a defensive back who can knock them out of the play. Ainsworth believes this combination of returning talent, depth, and the addition of Scott makes the Houston Cougars secondary the best in the Big 12. He acknowledges the talent of other teams in the conference but remains confident that Houston will be on top. The latter part of the episode discusses the future of the Houston Cougars program, mentioning the impressive performance of five-star quarterback recruit, Keisean Henderson, at the recent All-American game. Ainsworth expresses his belief that Henderson has the potential to be a future star for the Houston Cougars. This episode provides valuable insights into the exciting future of Houston Cougar Football, including its financial stability, NIL strategies, and the promising development of its young talent.
