Quiet in Saturday's loss Koziol totaled two receptions (on four targets) for 22 yards during Saturday's 17-14 loss against TCU.

Impact Koziol had one of his worst performances of the season Saturday as he tied a season low with two catches and gained just 22 yards, his second fewest total of the season. He also had a season-low four targets. It was a disappointing outing for the tight end, but given how consistent he's been this season it's likely this was just a one-off performance. He'll look to bounce back Saturday at Baylor in the regular season finale.

He will look to keep that going Friday at UCF.

Promising option for 2025 Koziol looks like a promising option for Houston's 2025 season, Chris Baldwin of PaperCityMag.com reports.

Impact 2025 will be Koziol's first year with Houston, having transferred from Ball State after an incredible 2024 season that saw him log 94 receptions for 839 yards and eight touchdowns. The question is whether or not he can replicate all that output at a Power Conference level. Fortunately for Houston, Koziol is looking like he can with his production on the practice fields.
