Tyler Howard is a young, active safety with early turnover-play production for North Carolina A&T
In the 2025 season, Tyler Howard, a freshman safety for North Carolina A&T, showed early playmaking flashes with 22 tackles and 2 interceptions, including a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, which points to instincts around the ball rather than just cleanup tackling.[1][3] At 6-0 and 175 pounds, he profiles as a lean, athletic defensive back whose value is more about range, opportunism, and developing upside than finished polish; current public roster pages do not show 2026 stats yet, so the clearest takeaway is that he already has disruptive traits and could fit a team looking for a young safety with upside and ball skills.[1][13]
