Rising North Alabama Edge with Early Disruption Ability
Howard is a 6-foot-3, 240-pound sophomore defensive end who has already shown some bite for North Alabama, recording 13 career tackles with a sack and a tackle for loss through his first two seasons, including an 8-tackle 2024 campaign[1][2]. His appeal is less about gaudy numbers and more about a developing frame, active motor, and the kind of edge size that can hold up if his pass-rush plan keeps sharpening[1][2]. If you need a young, buy-low DL with upside rather than an instant double-digit sack producer, he’s a reasonable fit.
