The University of Houston hired alumnus Chris Pezman of University of California, Berkeley on Monday as Athletic Director and Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletic after former director Hunter Yurecheck left for Arkansas.
“We are thrilled to be returning home,” Pezman said in a news release. “Houston has always been home, and will always be home. We had always hoped to return to Houston, and when the opportunity presented itself, we couldn’t be more excited.”
Pezman has spent the last four years as Senior Associate Athletics Director at the University of California, Berkeley. Previously, he spent the two years as an Assistant Athletic Director for Football Operations at UH in 2012 and 2013.
