Howard had started off his senior year with a bang, and is one of the leading rushers through the first half of the season. The explosive back has been a starter since his sophomore year at Walnut Grove, and with his experience and dynamic running vision, he should elevate the program to new heights in 2024. Howard is a physical north-south runner at 5’11” and 180 lbs. He does a good job of driving his legs through tacklers and shows good determination. Very light feet in between the tackles, Howard can explode out of a hole and get to the 2nd level fast. I like the variability of his footwork, and how Howard adjusts to the defense quickly. He shows good natural forward lean while running, and attentively keeps the ball high and tight when striding out. His ball security seems to be a major focus, he will wrap the ball up when driving the pile, a good habit to see. As he continues to fill out his frame, Howard can utilize his runny style to create an even bigger impact at the college level.
