Ohio State quarterback Will Howard has officially bid farewell to Buckeye Nation. In a heartfelt 1.44-second video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Howard shared a simple yet powerful message: “Thank You, Ohio State. For everything.”
Howard, who transferred to Ohio State this past offseason after spending four seasons at Kansas State, quickly established himself as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks. His standout performances during the season, particularly in the playoffs, solidified his reputation as a clutch player.
The 23-year-old quarterback’s journey culminated in an impressive playoff run, showcasing his leadership and skill on the field. However, after a grueling season, Howard decided to withdraw from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, citing the physical and mental toll of the playoff stretch.
With his college career now behind him, Howard has declared for the NFL Draft. Projected as a Day 3 pick, he hopes to land in a situation where he can continue to develop and potentially grow into a starting role at the professional level.
Howard’s time at Ohio State may have been brief, but his impact was significant. As he prepares for the next chapter of his football journey, Buckeye fans will remember his contributions and wish him success as he takes his talents to the NFL.
