Expert Analysis
Hayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
A two-sport athlete (Football/Basketball) who impressed at the PRZ Stockup Showcase in December, Howard racked up 50 ttcks, 2 PBUs, and 1 INT during his junior season. As a safety, Howard plays a very heads-up brand of football. He capitalizes on receivers’ mistakes and creates problems for wideouts running routes across the middle of the field. I like his closing speed a lot, which ties hand in hand with his physicality when tackling. Howard doesn’t shy away from contact and can lay the wood on a QB rolling out of the pocket, or a wideout turning upfield. His utility in the run game makes him a valuable safety valve for the Governors, and I expect him to play a large role on that defense in 2026.
