Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Houser stood out to me early in Friday’s game at Liberty when the Johnston receiver sped behind the defense on a route that would have gone for a long gain or, perhaps, a touchdown had it connected. Being able to run like that with a projectable 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame catches one’s attention. I was even more impressed when the Dragons ran a similar go route for Houser in the second quarter that hit for a long touchdown despite Liberty seeing it already. He’s a fluid athlete with speed, a wide catch radius and, as mentioned, a frame capable of filling out while holding the athleticism and agility. A role player a year ago, Houser is wisely more involved in the offensive plans now. He’d also make a nice fit for a college looking for a prospect with a chance to continue developing out wide or see his skill set play up even more as a tight end.

Not to he confused with the player of the same name in the same grade at PCM, Johnston’s Houser is a taller version of his namesake to the east. The Dragon junior caught 13 balls for 109 yards and a touchdown. He added a pancake block and a solo tackle. It’s an impressive set of skills when watching his 11th-grade highlight video. A high-end athlete as evidenced by his playing for Iowa United on the club basketball circuit, Houser often lines up as an H-Back, hauling in short throws and turning them quickly up the field. He reaches top speed quickly and makes defenders miss in space. Houser runs crisp routes, can block in the run game and looks like a matchup problem overall. His frame is such that it can add plenty of good weight in a college strength and conditioning program. That could lead to him working more in-line as well as or instead of starting in the H-Back spot.
