COMMENTARY: Stevenson’s return among Houston’s biggest offseason moves

In the wide world of college football, there are inexperienced teams, ones going through growing pains and other veteran-laden ones.

Houston’s program is attempting to jump from the growing pains category to the veteran-laden one – look no further than the redshirting of starting upperclassmen for proof.

To become that veteran-laden squad that reaps the benefits of elderly talent, a team must not just have notches on its belt. It has to have skill.

On Dec. 18, Houston got a boost in the veteran skill department when junior wide receiver Marquez Stevenson chose to return for his final season over the bright lights of the NFL Draft.
