CCSU’s do-it-all back with NFL-worthy burst
In the 2025 season, Elijah Howard was the engine of Central Connecticut’s offense, earning NEC Offensive Player of the Year and finishing with 1,105 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in his 2025 game log coverage, while also adding receiving value and explosive return ability. He’s a three-time All-NEC back whose calling card is big-play juice, contact balance, and versatility; he’s the kind of runner who can flip field position or break a game open on one carry. If you want a productive, seasoned, high-ceiling back with proven production and special-teams value, he’s a strong fit.
