How sitting and waiting worked wonders for UH’s Jack Freeman

Transfer or sit and wait. That was the choice Jack Freeman had to make entering the 2021 football season.

Freeman, who had been the starting center for UH during the 2019 and 2020 seasons, had lost his job due to the arrival of Lousiana Tech transfer Kody Russey, a veteran center that started 46 games for the Bulldogs.

This came as a shock to Freeman’s system and he began to question whether or not he belonged at UH.

“I was going through a lot mentally this past year and losing my spot definitely did not help that case,” Freeman said.
