Houston’s Grant Stuard, who played safety and linebacker for the Cougars from 2017-20, is the newest member of the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the 259th overall pick, the last pick of the 2021 NFL Draft which is deemed “Mr. Irrelevant.”
The six-foot-one-inch linebacker led UH with 61 tackles, including five tackles for loss and a sack, during the 2020 season in seven games played.
Stuard also scored his first and only career collegiate touchdown in 2020, picking up a fumble and taking it to the house of a 34-yard scoop-and-score against UCF.

Last spring, redshirt junior utility player Sierra Lange watched her team from the dugout after suffering a season-ending ACL injury. Just a year later, Lange tossed the fifth no-hitter in program history.
Lange’s return to the field has boosted the Colonials’ (25-8, 15-1 A-10) dominant streak in conference play that has put the squad atop the Atlantic 10. She helms a Colonial pitching staff, owning the second-best ERA on the squad with a 1.98, while also notching 45 hits at the plate.

This is the first Coach of the Year honor for Dyche and the first for the program since 2010.
“Receiving something like that is a reflection of an enormous group of people, and I’m the one that gets the credit, but it really is our entire staff, our entire team, and our entire athletic department,” said head coach Heather Dyche. “I think without any of that, you don’t have success. It’s a huge honor, and I am very appreciative of it, but, without question, I know that it’s a group award.”
