Kansas State’s Ryan Howard: a long, developing tackle with legit frame and power
Howard is a 6'7", 295-pound sophomore left tackle with a prototypical NFL-style build, and Kansas State’s own roster lists him as a redshirt in 2024 and without game action in 2025, so his current value is more projection than production. His best differentiators are size, strength, and recruiting pedigree: ESPN ranked him the 54th-best offensive tackle in the 2024 class, while EA’s launch ratings give him strong marks for strength and blocking power. If you want a high-upside developmental OL who can grow into a physically imposing edge protector, he fits; if you need immediate game-tested help, he is still an in-progress bet.[1][11]
