Howard’s Levi Mallette brings nasty versatility and leadership to the line
In the 2026 season, Levi Mallette arrives at Howard as a 6-3, 290-pound freshman offensive lineman from Chicago Hope Academy, with a reputation for rare versatility and consistency. He was a captain, two-time All-State and Academic All-State honoree, and even won a Chicago Bears Black History Month Youth Leader Award for excellence in academics, athletics, and community leadership. The big differentiator: he reportedly allowed no sacks or holding penalties over three high school seasons, a strong sign of technique and discipline. He looks like a smart fit for a program that values dependable, high-character trench play.
