Massive, Power-Four-caliber interior DL with Houston fit
Broughton is a **6-4, 325-pound defensive tackle** from Cypress Ridge who signed with Houston on Nov. 18, 2025, giving the Cougars a true space-eating interior defender with Power-Four attention behind him. He was heavily recruited by programs like Miami and Florida, which speaks to his size, frame, and upside as a run-stuffer who can collapse the pocket with mass and leverage. For Houston, the appeal is simple: he brings the kind of big-bodied DL presence that can anchor a front, absorb double teams, and match the physical tone a defense needs.
