Houston's offensive line received a nomination for a player who hasn't even played a snap for the Cougars, landing on a national award watch list. Offensive lineman Anthony Boswell was named to the Rimington Trophy Preseason Watch List on Thursday, August 6. Former Houston offensive lineman Demetrius Hunter made 25 starts throughout four years, allowing only two sacks in his last two seasons. He was named to the Outland Trophy Preseason Watch List and the Sporting News Preseason All-America First Team. Holding that number against a schedule that includes Texas Tech, Utah and UCF becomes a real test for the offensive line in 2026.
