DeShawn Wilson Commits to University of Houston
Loyola Academy running back DeShawn Wilson has committed to the University of Houston. The Class of 2026 standout chose the Cougars over offers from several other Power Five schools. Wilson is a versatile back who excels in both the running and passing game. He is a natural fit for Houston's spread offense, which emphasizes speed and agility. With the Cougars' current depth chart, Wilson is expected to contribute immediately as a freshman. Academically, Wilson is drawn to Houston's strong business program, which aligns with his post-high school goals. Wilson had previously considered Northwestern but ultimately decided to pursue his athletic and academic opportunities at the University of Houston. He is the latest addition to the Cougars' highly touted recruiting class.
