Earlier this month, head coach Willie Fritz and the Houston Cougars made a significant move in the transfer portal with the addition of offensive guard Shadre Hurst.
Since the Houston Cougars wrapped up the season with a victory in the Texas Bowl over the LSU Tigers, Willie Fritz and his coaching staff have been heavily focused on roster construction for the 2026 season, with a heavy focus on roster retention.
Another day in December means another round of players hitting the transfer portal. Whether it be lack of playing time, the desire to take their talents to a more highly viewed program or something completely unrelated, the portal never fails to provide college football fans with drama and entertainment.
Tulane Green Wave offensive lineman Shadre Hurst was selected for two honors when Phil Steele's annual preseason publication came out recently. Hurst was one of 11 Green Wave players named to Steele's preseaon all-American Athletic Conference team.
American sportswriter Phil Steele recently announced his Preseason All-AAC team selections and the Tulane University Green Wave program has a conference high with 11 selections. Tulane announced that five of the 11 were named to the First Team.
Excitement is extremely high for the upcoming Tulane Green Wave football season. Headed into the second year of the Jon Sumrall era after losing a bit of momentum down the stretch last campaign, the hope is that a more complete season is loading for the Wave and they will be able to possibly compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
