Harnett Central isn’t though of as a football power, but Howard is doing his best to change that. His rankings bump is the result of extra film study, a session that left me more impressed with his easy velocity and calm demeanor in the pocket. If you’re going to be a pocket passer in this day and age, you better have accuracy and the ability to move around before the throw. Howard’s pocket presence (Few sacks) and accuracy (65% completion percentage on 10 yards per attempt) are up there with the best in the state.
