Baylor's Versatile LB from the 2006 Era
Paul Howard, a fifth-year senior LB for the Baylor Bears in 2006, transitioned from defensive end to Mike linebacker, logging action on 107 plays with 15 tackles (6 solo), a fumble recovery, and pass breakups while showing positional versatility and hustle.[4][5] His differentiator was seamless adaptation after redshirting at Texas Tech, bringing intensity and football IQ to Baylor's defense—ideal for teams needing multi-role LBs with proven snap counts and no major injury flags from available records. A gritty, under-the-radar talent worth watching for depth charts.
