Deontay Anderson ready to help hometown team

Football is still football, no matter where it’s being played. But sometimes it feels better playing back at home. Redshirt sophomore safety Deontay Anderson, a graduate from Manvel High School, made his return to Houston after he transferred from Ole Miss. Now, he’s ready to contribute to UH’s efforts this season.

The road back to Houston was long and difficult for Anderson. After graduating high school as a four-star recruit, he took his talents to Ole Miss.

The team went on to earn itself a one-year bowl ban following allegations of allowing boosters to play a significant part in recruiting efforts.
