Austin Howard remains a proven SWAC playmaker with a veteran feel
Austin Howard has been one of the SWAC’s steadiest quarterbacks, known for accurate passing, good command of the offense, and enough mobility to extend drives and punish defenses when the pocket breaks down. In the 2016 season, he had already piled up 988 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and just four interceptions early in the year, and reports highlighted a career-best 395-yard outing plus a 50th career TD pass that fall. His fit is strongest for a team that wants an experienced, tough, rhythm-based QB who can make timely throws and keep the offense on schedule.
