Ohio State may change Will Howard more than he changes Buckeyes’ offense — at least that’s his plan
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Forget what you think you know about new Ohio State football quarterback Will Howard.
Or, at least, do not assume you know what Howard will look like in scarlet and gray this fall. The Kansas State transfer joined up because he felt coach Ryan Day’s offense could help him complete his metamorphosis.
Over the course of four seasons with the Wildcats, Howard developed from dual threat to pocket passer who can move — a sometimes subtle yet important distinction. He expects to help Ohio State with his legs — as much as it takes to win any given game. Yet he also transferred in to prove his running ability is merely a bonus, not the foundation of his identity.
