Howard is one of the premier linebackers in the state.  The 6’2″ 220 pound linebacker has a ton of speed and burst to the ball.  He absolutely lays the hammer when tackling coming downhill.  Lines up mostly at middle linebacker, but does have some edge potential as well.  Gets off blocks well and fills the hole in the run game making tackles in the box. Big time athlete!
