Wisconsin transfer tight end Tanner Koziol committed to Houston on Thursday.
Koziol entered the portal on Wednesday after just four months with the Badgers. The four-star transfer recruit joined the program during the winter window, ranked as a top-70 transfer prospect and the No. 3 player at his position. The rising senior then departed just weeks into spring practice. He is now headed to Houston for his final season of eligibility.
The former Ball State standout caught 94 passes last season for a team-high 839 yards and eight touchdowns. His 36 career games over three seasons include 163 total receptions, 1,507 yards and 18 touchdowns.
The 6-foot-6 tight end joins a Houston program that has gone 4-8 in each of its first two seasons in the Big 12. The Cougars were formerly a contender atop the American, reaching nine bowl games in 10 seasons from 2013-22, including a program-best 13-1 2015 campaign.
Koziol will headline Houston's entirely new-look offense entering year two under head coach Willie Fritz. The team landed former Texas A&M quarterback Connor Weigman, Rice running back Dean Connors, several transfer receivers, four now offensive line starters and now Koziol. They'll all look to improve a unit that averaged just 14 points per game in 2024, ranked 133rd of 134 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
Wisconsin, meanwhile, is looking to bolster its tight end position after Koziol's departure. It is one of several programs with a transfer visit scheduled with Missouri State's Lance Mason. As of April 18, Tucker Ashcraft and J.T. Seagreaves are the team's two primary options at the position.
