Christian Trahan

Trahan was an integral part of the Cougars passing attack in 2021, compiling 37 receptions for 398 yards and two touchdowns. The senior tight end will look to build upon his role in the upcoming season. Houston’s offense has retained top-option Nathaniel Dell (90 receptions for 1,329 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2021), but Jeremy Singleton (29 receptions for 495 yards and five touchdowns in 2021) has transferred to Georgia Southern and Jake Herslow (36 receptions for 480 yards and five touchdowns in 2021) has been signed by the Seattle Seahawks. Trahan will likely handle a similar role during the 2022 season, as the competition for vacated targets will include: incoming four-star freshman, Matthew Golden, along with sophomore-transfer Sam Brown from West Virginia and sophomore-transfer Joseph Manjac from USC. Trahan’s established chemistry with quarterback Clayton Tune, figures to guarantee a similar role in the offense moving forward, despite an influx of new receivers fighting for vacated targets.
