De'Eric Mister brings rare size and upside to Howard’s offensive line
Mister is a **6'7", 315-pound** offensive lineman at Howard who entered the program after redshirting at Minnesota and has developed from a late-starting high school player into a Division I-caliber tackle; in high school, he earned **All-State** honors and was ranked among the nation’s top offensive tackles, which points to real upside as a long, physical pass protector and run blocker.[2][5][8] He is a fit for teams that value **length, power, and development potential** more than immediate finished-product polish, though publicly available 2025–26 game logs do not show detailed statistical production beyond roster status and prior game participation.[1][2][7]
