Nick Howard is Butler’s dual-threat engine, not just a thrower
In the 2024 season, Nick Howard was a high-impact, do-it-all QB for Butler, rushing for 712 yards and 13 touchdowns while also passing for 519 yards and 7 scores, which made him one of the most dangerous red-zone weapons in the Pioneer Football League[4][6][11][14]. The big differentiator is his run-first explosiveness with enough passing touch to keep defenses honest; he averaged 5.0 yards per carry, led Butler in rushing, and earned All-PFL and Academic All-District recognition, so he looks like a fit for a team that wants an efficient, physical, dual-threat creator who brings production and discipline.
