A key strategy to Dana Holgorsen‘s rebuild at Houston (that nobody knew was a rebuild until Holgorsen started coaching) is landing boomerang recruits -- Houston-area natives that sign with Power 5 schools and then transfer when the depth chart doesn’t shake out to their liking.
The rebuild got a boost on Sunday, when Mustapha Muhammad announced his arrival in Space City.
The 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end played his high school ball at Ridge Point High School in the Houston suburb of Missouri City before signing with Michigan as a 4-star member of Jim Harbaugh‘s 2018 class. He left Ann Arbor before completing two full seasons as a Wolverine, having caught a grand total of zero passes in maize and blue.
Barring a waiver, Muhammad will have to sit out the 2020 season and compete for the Coogs in 2021.
