Howard spent the first four years of his collegiate career at Kansas State before taking over as Ohio State's starting quarterback in 2024, surpassing 4,000 passing yards in a season that culminated in a national championship. Across his 16 appearances as a Buckeye, he totaled 4,010 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions along with 105 rushing attempts for 226 yards and seven scores. Howard fell to the sixth round in the 2025 NFL Draft and will have some time to develop behind a veteran in 2025 after the Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers to serve as their starter.
