A tough, physical back with real all-purpose pedigree
In the 2001 season, Omari Howard gave Massachusetts a durable, inside-or-outside rushing option and even flashed as a receiver, including a 23-yard TD catch against Rhode Island and a 100-yard rushing game against Northeastern. UMass described him as a “tough, durable back” and a “physical player” who could run inside or outside, which is exactly the kind of compact, contact-loving profile that fits a run-heavy room. If you need a back who brings experience, versatility, and edge, he’s a sneaky-good fit; if you want pure home-run speed, this is probably not your guy.
