Massive Freshman OL with Power-Build Potential
California freshman offensive lineman Ben Howard is a 6-foot-4, 340-pound interior presence whose value is more about projection than production right now, with no available game logs or season stats yet for 2026. Listed as active on Cal’s roster, he stands out for rare size and the kind of mass that can anchor in the run game and absorb bull rushes, but the key question is development: technique, foot quickness, and consistency will determine whether he becomes a real Pac-12/ACC-level fit. For teams, he’s a classic high-upside, long-term bet rather than an immediate plug-and-play starter.[1][3][9][15]
