Tennessee Lands Unexpected 4-Star Tight End Commitment—What This Means for the Team’s Future Could Shock You
Tennessee’s staff made Howard a priority throughout the recruiting process. The Volunteers offered him on June 5, 2024, and he made eight unofficial visits to Knoxville before taking his official visit this weekend. Relationships built with Heupel, offensive coordinator Joey Halzle and the rest of the coaching staff played a major role in Tennessee regaining momentum during the spring and ultimately winning the recruiting battle.
Howard brings a versatile skill set to Knoxville. He is renowned as a hybrid tight end capable of contributing as both a blocker and receiving threat. His size, 6-foot-10 wingspan, strong hands and ability to attack all levels of a defense have made him one of the most sought-after players in the 2027 cycle. He also competed in the Navy All-American Bowl as an underclassman in January, holding his own against many of the nation’s top senior prospects.
