As a first-year starter last season, Houston completed 70% of his passes for 4,480 yards with 38 touchdowns to six interceptions while adding 690 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.
Houston is rated as the No. 2 quarterback, the No. 2 player in the state and the No. 5 overall recruit in his class, per Rivals.
Although Houston is just entering his junior high school season, the highly-touted recruit is gaining interest from a impressive list of major college football programs.
Florida State, Michigan, Auburn and Penn State extended scholarship offers to Houston this year, bringing his total to 27 offers. Major powers like Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, USC and LSU are believed to be at the top of his list to this point.

There is still a long ways to go in Houston's recruitment, but he did drop a subtle hint during a Rivals camp in Dallas on Sunday.

Houston, who took home the camp's quarterback MVP honors, performed in drills with a Georgia towel in tow.
The Bulldogs offered the dual-threat passer back in October.
Houston sporting the UGA towel isn't enough to make an assumption on where he may ultimately land, but head coach Kirby Smart's Bulldogs probably look kindly on the choice of gear as they battle other recruiting giants.
The recruiting race surrounding Houston will only intensify leading up to his senior season. He will be able to start taking official visits in April of 2026.
