Del Howard brings steady safety play and proven tackling for Missouri
Del Howard offers Missouri a dependable, physical safety presence with production that shows up in the dirty work: in the 2025 season, ESPN lists him with 44 solo tackles, 2 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble, while Missouri’s roster notes he played in 12 of 13 games and finished with 9 total tackles in one recent season. His value is in reliability, run support, and coverage instincts rather than flashy ball-hawking volume, making him the kind of defender coaches trust in a role that demands consistency and toughness.
