Marcus Howard is an active, disruptive DL with proven pass-rush upside
Howard brings real defensive-line juice: he logged 38 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks in 2023 at Northern Colorado, then followed with 29 tackles and a fumble recovery in 2024, showing he can affect the game beyond the box score[15]. He’s the kind of edge/line defender coaches like because he has production, effort, and a track record of finishing plays, including strong high-school sack numbers before college[15]. For Austin Peay, he looks like a worthwhile fit if you want an experienced, active front-seven piece who can create pressure and chase plays down.
