Houston’s hard-hitting, playmaking safety with all-conference pedigree
In the 2008 season, Ken Fontenette was a steady tone-setter for Houston, ranking second on the team with 92 tackles and adding nine pass breakups, while finishing his Cougars career with 309 tackles, nine interceptions, four fumble recoveries, and two forced fumbles[12][15]. He earned Second-Team All-Conference USA honors in both 2007 and 2008 and was described as the defensive captain, which tells you he brought more than production—he brought reliability, leadership, and a nose for the ball[12][15]. If you value a physical, high-effort safety who shows up in big moments, he’s the kind of fit that makes a defense feel older and meaner in a good way.
