With his size and quickness, I think he will be an absolute beast. Even money says he gets drafted if this goes as well as you would think it would...

First he's a snow plow of a tight end with good hands. Now left tackle. Didn't he play on the basketball team for a year?

What next? Is he going to bat clean up for the baseball team. Or throw the shot for track & field?

I think the athletic department is getting their money's worth out of Howard's scholarship.

No wonder he buys so many sandwiches when he comes into the gas station. I think this could work out very well for both parties

Is this similar to whether or not he goes to class?

Nice to see all parties agreeable to the position change. Sometimes moving guys around doesn't go as smoothly.

I saw that comment coming a mile away!

I had a feeling this move was coming.

This is why UNI is soo lucky compared to some of the other GFC schools. We are able to red-shirt these kids and have them for 5 years.

He will be a stud the next 2 years.....

Lets face it, he basically was a tackle last season..

Nope, I have just been simply amazed at how much he, and other football players eat for breakfast. However, this could be a high calorie diet

Yeah but I remember that one handed grab for a TD with a defender in his grill against Delaware. He could collect a pass when you asked him to.

Re: Howard to Left Tackle

I also remember Howard holding on and popping right back up after getting drilled by Alvin Bowen last year. He was FAR from being a tackle last year!

You should see how I eat.

Re: Howard to Left Tackle

I wouldn't say he was "far" from being a tackle last season. He did have decent hands and did have a sweet catch in the playoffs, but you could count on one hand how many plays were run last year to get him a catch. He was in there for one reason, and it was to block. I think he is much better utilized at tackle.

Wasn't that play termed the "defining moment of the game"?
With so many weapons, Howard wasn't called upon often but when he was he always came up big.
