What was rumored 10 days ago was confirmed today, as Houston officially announced the addition of Ra’Shaad Samples on Wednesday. Samples, a speedy wide receiver, arrives from Oklahoma State.
A four-star prospect, Samples was a member of the Rivals 250 in 2013.
Samples redshirted in 2013 and then hauled in three grabs for 11 yards as a redshirt freshman in 2014.
Equally important to what he can do on the field, Samples is the son of Reginald Samples, the head coach at Duncanville High School and one of the most-connected high school coaches in the talent-rich Dallas-Fort Worth area.
As per NCAA transfer rules, Samples will sit out 2015 and then resume his career in 2016.
