Jalen Howard brings real havoc off the edge for CCSU
Jalen Howard has been one of Central Connecticut State’s most disruptive defenders, finishing the 2024 season with 49 tackles, 8.5 sacks and 1 forced fumble while regularly showing up in clutch moments for the Blue Devils[3][8]. In NEC play, he earned co-defensive player of the week honors after a seven-tackle, two-sack performance at Saint Francis and led the conference in sacks and tackles for loss at that point, which tells you exactly what kind of problem he is[7]. He looks like a strong fit if you want a physical, high-motor DL who can win with edge pressure and create negative plays, not just occupy space[4][7].
