Iverson Howard brings Maryland a local-speed back with upside and special-teams juice
In the 2025 season, Iverson Howard flashed as a true freshman at Maryland, finishing with 39 carries for 125 rushing yards while also leading the Terps in kickoff returns with 108 yards on seven attempts[1][3]. A former three-star recruit and the top-rated running back in Maryland in his class, he arrived with Power Four offers and a reputation as a quick, versatile in-state playmaker[1][7]. The fit is intriguing: he already contributes in the return game, has room to grow as a runner, and looks like a high-energy depth piece with upside rather than a finished product[1][10].
