Will Howard has been given a lot of labels during his college football career, but the one he's most proud of is "winner." Before transferring from Kansas State to Ohio State ahead of the 2024 season, Howard led the Wildcats to the 2022 Big 12 championship. Howard finished his career in Manhattan as the record-holder for career touchdown passes while ranking fourth in completions and fifth in passing yards. “I like his competitiveness,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said after Howard signed with the Buckeyes. "I like his toughness. (Strength coach) Mick (Marotti) would tell you he sees that every day in the weight room. He’s a guy who’s won the Big 12 championship. He was a field goal or whatever away from beating Texas this year. He’s got a mature approach about him. He’s got the ability to throw the football. When he needs to run, he can run. He’s big. You see the size when he gets up on you. So, there’s a few things you really grab onto that impress.”
