Hayward Howard Jr. brings length, range, and championship pedigree to Texas
A 6-foot-2, 175-pound corner from powerhouse Edna Karr, Hayward Howard Jr. was a key defensive standout on an undefeated Louisiana Division I Select state championship team and signed with Texas in May 2025. He stands out for his length, rangy coverage ability, and ability to play against elite competition, making him the kind of outside corner who can fit a modern long, disruptive secondary. Texas and recruiting outlets list him among Louisiana’s top prospects and a top-35 corner nationally, which fits the profile of a high-upside defender worth caring about.
