In Houston, the Lions have added another really productive player who was a second-team Associated Press FCS All-American and first-team All-SWAC performer after leading the FCS with seven forced fumbles and tying for second with 24.5 tackles for loss and with 16.5 sacks. Houston had 70 total tackles and returned his lone interception for a touchdown in 13 starts.
Houston earned the nickname “Da Problem” in his last year of college, which certainly fits his production at Jackson State.
“So, my nickname’s ‘Da Problem.’ Back at Jackson State, some of the announcers, they just kind of came up with it,” Houston said. “I was kind of wreaking havoc throughout my fourth game – I think I had about 10-to-11 sacks on the season, and they came up with ‘Da Problem.’ You know, ‘Houston, we have a problem.'”
