Patrick Overmyer, Liam Dougherty earn Big 12 weekly honors for UH

University of Houston tight end Patrick Overmyer and punter Liam Dougherty received Big 12 accolades following impressive performances in Saturday's 35-16 victory against Kansas State. Overmyer matched an FBS record with four touchdown receptions in the game, while Dougherty averaged 59.3 yards on three punts, marking a new school record. This season, Overmyer leads all tight ends nationally in touchdown receptions. Coach Willie Fritz highlighted the need to reinvigorate their top wide receiver, Amare Thomas, who has struggled in recent games as defenses adjust. Freshman running back John Hebert is recuperating from ACL surgery and is expected to rejoin the team this summer.
