Houston lands a compact, efficient kicker with perfect PAT touch
Zac Yoakam arrives at Houston after a 2024 Notre Dame season in which he hit 18 of 18 extra points and 2 of 5 field goals, showing dependable short-range consistency even though his field-goal sample was limited. At 5-foot-8, he brings a low-profile but useful profile: accurate on routine kicks, experienced in a high-pressure Power conference setting, and still with two years of eligibility remaining at Houston. The fit hinges on whether the Cougars want a steady specialist who can handle straightforward scoring opportunities and compete to raise his field-goal reliability.
