Tahseen Howard brings special-teams juice and ball-hawk upside to Robert Morris
Howard is a versatile DB who has already shown real value in the return game, leading the NEC in punt return yards in 2024 with 138 yards on a 6.9 average and earning Phil Steele’s All-NEC Special Teams recognition; he also added an interception and 29 return yards in 2025, showing he can still affect hidden yardage and create occasional defensive splash plays.[2][1] At 5'11" and 170 pounds, he profiles as an active, multi-phase contributor more than a pure shutdown defender, with his biggest differentiator being his playmaking instinct and ability to tilt field position when given space.[6][9]
