UH football 2020 season grades: Special teams

After looking back on every position group on the Houston offense and defense and how they performed in 2020, the attention turns to the brightest spot for the Cougars: special teams.

While the UH football team struggled with consistency for much of the season, its third facet of the game was relatively a constant.

Marcus Jones shines

After transferring to UH from Troy, junior cornerback Marcus Jones not only made his name known to Cougars fans but to college football fans across the nation.

The 5-foot-8-inch Enterprise, Alabama, native not only set the American Athletic Conference single-season record for most punt return yards with 337, but also led the FBS in total punt return yards and average yards per punt return.
