| As a running back, Houston certainly has the size and he runs low, making him compact and powerful and very tough to bring down. He also has some nimble feet and sometimes he can surprise you with his shiftiness, especially for a back of his size. And he’s athletic. Defenders sometimes go low, diving at his ankles and he’ll just hurdle them. Speed isn’t his strength but for his size he certainly has very good football speed. |
| Biography: |
As a junior, Houston saw some reps at defensive end, but his importance on offense limited his plays on defense. He ended the 2005 season with 1,910 yards and 34 touchdowns helping Butler to a 10-3 record.
Coach's Comments: “He’s got the size to go through a hole that he needs to go through. He’s got great vision – he sees the hole exceptionally well. He’s able to change direction and make people miss. You don’t normally see that on a kid that’s 240 pounds, but he’s a heck of an athlete. He’s going to be able things do things that a 180-pound ‘back can’t do, and he’s going to be able to do a lot of things that a 180-pound ‘back can do.” -- Butler head coach Mike Newsome |
