Resilient 6-11 Rim Protector Poised for Bigger Role at Vanguard
Sammy Howlin, a gritty 6-11 center, flashed elite rebounding and shot-blocking in 2024-25 at Utah Tech with a 16-pt/15-reb double-double vs. Whittier (8/12 FG) and 14 team-high blocks despite limited 18 games; his JUCO championship pedigree (5.4ppg/6rpg/1.4bpg at Fullerton in 2022-23) and high school dominance (15/10) highlight his motor and offensive board crash (22/40 rebs). Overcame injury setbacks, chose Utah Tech for opportunity—now at Vanguard (2025-26), he's a high-upside big with trusted loyalty and intensity for teams needing physicality inside.[1][2][3]
