holds offers from Western Illinois, the University of Sioux Falls, Northern Iowa, Indiana State, Grand Valley State, Southeast Missouri State, McKendree, Eastern Illinois, Upper Iowa, Northern State, and MSU-Mankato, all since his All-Conference junior season wrapped up and the winter concluded. Houi holds five D1 FCS offers for a reason, as he’s positionally versatile, having lined up at both CB and S in 2022, as well as WR, RB, and as both a kick and punt returner. Offensively and on special teams, he’s twitchy and explosive and is great at creating separation as a route runner, particularly at the LOS in his releases. He’s fast no matter where he lines up as well, and it shows up in defense, as he has a good rep of him running down a loose ball carrier and saving a TD in pursuit. In coverage, he’s patient in his read steps and then explodes out of his stance once he lets loose, triggering fast once he locks in and recognizes that the receiver is committed to his route. Also changes direction well in coverage as the high safety, tracks the ball well, is physical at the catch point, and does a good job of getting his hands in and breaking up passes for a 5’10 safety. Speaking of physicality, Houi is a great cut tackler and laid some solid hits against opposing ball carriers last fall. He goes all-in into contact and made impressive goal-line tackles to keep opponents out of the endzone. There’s a lot of speed in his game and he can do a ton asked of him on the gridiron. He’s going to have some massive production and a large workload as a senior. PRzIL can’t wait to see it.
