08/09/22 - WR Matthew Golden, Jr/2026, Texas

As the morning sun beat down on the practice field Thursday, the first day of the University of Houston's football preseason camp, Matthew Golden looked like a seasoned veteran rather than a true freshman. Golden, a first-year receiver from Klein Cain, made a move to the right and snagged the ball in the air with one hand before taking off downfield. He made another catch. And another. On campus since January, Golden has already drawn praise from coaches and teammates. His position coach, Daikiel Shorts Jr., said Golden has the physique of a "Greek god." Nathaniel "Tank" Dell, likely envisioning big passing numbers paired with Golden this fall, offered a recent preview: "That man is going to be special. You're going to see this year." Then came Thursday morning, when coach Dana Holgorsen confirmed what many had speculated: Go ahead and pencil Golden into a starting spot at one of UH's outside receiver spots. "Right now, Matt Golden is the starting 'Z' receiver. I can tell you that right now," Holgorsen told reporters before the first practice.

Golden, who turned 19 on Monday, brings impressive credentials to the Cougars. He had more than two dozen scholarship offers, switching his commitment from TCU to UH in the final month before the December signing period. He is rated the third-highest ranked player to sign with the Cougars in the modern recruiting era, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, behind only defensive tackle Ed Oliver (2016) and wide receiver Deontay Greenberry (2012). "I feel like Matthew has the talent to be the next star receiver at UH," Dell said. - Houston Chronicle
