Versatile Kansas O-lineman with old-school toughness
Gavin Howard is a broad-shouldered, position-flexible Kansas offensive lineman whose biggest calling card is versatility—he was credited with playing every offensive-line spot during his Kansas career, and his leadership value showed up off the stat sheet as a three-time Academic All-Big 12 first-team honoree. In the 2013 season, teammates and coverage described him as a vocal veteran who believed the program had finally built real momentum, a good sign for teams that want maturity, adaptability, and a steady interior presence.
