News Now: Five-Star Quarterback Will Howard (6’4″, 236 lbs) Announces His Commitment
In a major development on the college football recruiting trail, five-star quarterback Will Howard, standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 236 pounds, has officially committed to his next football home. The highly coveted signal-caller made the announcement on Monday, ending months of speculation and intense competition among top-tier programs.
Howard, considered one of the most polished quarterbacks in the 2025 class, revealed his decision through a video posted to social media. Surrounded by family, teammates, and coaches, he proudly unveiled the school colors of his chosen destination, signaling a new chapter in his football journey.
“I want to thank God, my family, my coaches, and everyone who’s supported me from the beginning,” Howard said during the announcement. “After a lot of thought and prayer, I’ve decided to commit to \[School Name]. I’m ready to get to work and bring championships to this program.”
While the destination is now clear, the path to this commitment has been anything but straightforward. Howard, a product of Downingtown West High School in Pennsylvania, received offers from virtually every powerhouse in college football — including Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, and USC. His decision ultimately came down to a handful of finalists, each offering elite coaching, exposure, and a clear path to the NFL.
What separated his chosen program, according to Howard, was the relationship he developed with the coaching staff and the offensive scheme that aligns perfectly with his strengths.
“They made me feel like family every time I visited,” he explained. “The way they run their offense and develop quarterbacks — I see myself thriving there. I believe in their vision and want to be part of building something great.”
Howard’s physical tools make him a rare prospect. At 6’4″, he possesses the prototypical size of an NFL quarterback. His strong arm, quick release, and ability to read defenses have already drawn comparisons to some of the top quarterbacks currently playing on Sundays. But beyond the physical attributes, coaches rave about his leadership, poise under pressure, and relentless work ethic.
“Will is the type of quarterback who changes programs,” said a national recruiting analyst. “He’s a natural leader, extremely intelligent, and has the physical gifts to dominate at the next level. Wherever he goes, he’s going to make an immediate impact.”
The ripple effects of Howard’s commitment are likely to be felt across the recruiting landscape. Top receivers and offensive linemen are often drawn to elite quarterbacks, and his decision could help shape the future of his new program’s 2025 class.
For fans of his new team, this commitment represents not just a win on the recruiting trail but a signal of serious intent. Landing a quarterback of Howard’s caliber sends a message: this program is aiming high and building for sustained success.
