Expert Analysis

Gaines Howard Gaines Howard 5'9" | WR Christian Academy Of Louisville | 2027 State KY is a player who I’m very surprised hasn’t picked up an offer yet. Howard had an outstanding junior season, catching 60 passes for 1,014 yards and 14 touchdowns in 15 games. He is a skilled route runner, using smooth breaks in his routes to create separation with ease. Howard also has explosive speed which he uses to blow by opposing defensive backs in the deep passing game and to pick up yards after the catch. Gaines also scored one rushing touchdown as a junior and made an impact on defense, recording 27 tackles and three interceptions (tied for team lead). I expect a lot of eyes to be on Howard heading into his senior year.

Gaines Howard Gaines Howard 5'9" | WR Christian Academy Of Louisville | 2027 State KY caught my attention with an impressive sophomore season in which he caught 29 passes for 506 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games. Howard lines up in the slot where he uses his speed to blow by opposing defensive backs with ease to create separation. He is also dangerous after the catch, using his speed and elusiveness in the open field to turn short passes into big gains at any given moment. Howard doesn’t currently hold any offers but he will definitely be a player to keep an eye on over the next two seasons.
