Donovan Smith and Lucas Coley split repetitions during spring practice in their battle to...
It was bound to come up in conversations when Donovan Smith transferred from Texas Tech to the University of Houston this offseason.“It’s crazy how I ended up here,” Smith said recently as the Cougars wrapped up spring practice. “I try not to bring it up, but every time I meet somebody new, they always bring it up.”
While a decision won’t be announced until sometime in August, Smith is considered the front-runner for QB1 status given his Big 12 experience. Smith and Coley split reps 50/50 during the spring, Holgorsen said, because the Cougars fully expect to need both quarterbacks at some point this season. It was a change from previous springs for the Cougars, who for the first time in four years will have a new quarterback, Clayton Tune having finished his college career with nearly 12,000 passing yards.
There are, however, some major changes around them. Gone are Nathaniel “Tank” Dell, an All-America wideout who led the nation with 17 receiving touchdowns last season, and reliable tight end Christian Trahan. UH’s new quarterback will inherit a couple of key pieces on the offensive line, namely left tackle Patrick Paul and center Jack Freeman, and benefit from the return of running back Alton McCaskill IV, who had 16 rushing touchdowns as a freshman before missing last season with a knee injury.
