LOOK: LSU QB commit Walker Howard in Baton Rouge
Lafayette (La.) St. Thomas More four-star quarterback and LSU commit Walker Howard is spending the last weekend of the season at his future home of Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.
Howard was photographed pregame with Hammond (La.) St Thomas Aquinas 2025 quarterback Benny Latino Jr. and Ponchatoula (La.) 2023 athlete Aviyon Butler.
Walker Howard is the No. 35 overall recruit in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
He is the fourth-highest quarterback recruit in the class after Austin (Texas) Westlake five-star Cade Klubnik, Martin (Tenn.) Westview five-star Ty Simpson and Cypress (Texas) Bridgeland five-star Conner Weigman.
Howard’s high school season ended last night at the hands of Thibodaux (La.) E.D. White. Thibodaux (La.) E.D. White upset Lafayette (La.) St. Thomas More by a score of 31-21.
Teams are trying to flip Walker Howard
Ever since it was announced that Ed Oregron would not be returning as the Tigers head coach next season, teams have been trying hard to flip Walker Howard.
Notre Dame has been working to get Howard on campus for weeks, and got him on campus the weekend after the Oregron news was announced.
Ole Miss also began pursuing Howard after the Oregon news was announced. Rebels offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Jeff Lebby was even at Howard’s game yesterday.
The Fighting Irish has a 2022 quarterback recruit already in Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic consensus four-star Steve Angeli. Ole Miss does not have a quarterback commit in its class.
