Houston Shines as Black College Pro Player
Description
James Houston, the Dallas Cowboys’ standout pass rusher, just earned the NFLPA’s Black College Football Pro Player of the Year award for 2026—honoring his impact despite a rotational role, with 5.5 sacks, 35 tackles, and key turnovers. Rising from Jackson State, Houston credits his HBCU roots for shaping his game and legacy, while his Problem Solved Foundation partners with Dallas ISD to teach youth football values beyond the field. The NFLPA also donated $5,000 to Jackson State’s program in his honor. Meanwhile, Cowboys OTAs are in full swing, with DeMarvion Overshown taking over the MIKE linebacker spot and Dak Prescott gearing up for his 11th season facing new defensive challenges.
