Alex Cotton gives Howard a long, proven perimeter scorer with size
Cotton is a 6-5 guard who brings shot-making gravity, with Howard listing him on the roster and season stats showing he has handled a real scoring role after transferring from North Texas. In the 2025-26 season, he has been a volume perimeter threat, averaging 8.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists while hitting 37.1% from three on 6.1 attempts per game, which signals a useful floor-spacer rather than a low-usage specialist. He looks like a fit for teams that need wing size, spacing and a guard who can score without needing the ball every trip.[3][6][9]
