Former Wisconsin tight end Tanner Koziol recently announced his commitment to transfer to Houston. Koziol, a four-star transfer recruit, left the Badgers after a short stint and will be joining the Houston Cougars for his final season of eligibility. During his time at Ball State, Koziol had an impressive performance, recording 94 catches for 839 yards and 8 touchdowns last season, adding to his career stats of 163 receptions, 1,507 yards, and 18 touchdowns over three seasons.
The 6-foot-6 tight end's move to Houston comes as the program aims to revamp its offense under head coach Willie Fritz. Koziol joins a new-look offensive lineup that includes notable additions like former Texas A&M quarterback Connor Weigman and transfer receivers. Houston is seeking to improve its offensive output, having averaged just 14 points per game in the previous season. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is exploring options to fill the gap left by Koziol's departure, with Lance Mason from Missouri State among the potential transfer targets for the team's tight end position.
