The Hidden Penn State WR Poised to Shatter NFL Expectations—Is This the Next Big Superstar?
Penn State might finally have the dynamic wide receiver its offense has been missing.
Sophomore Koby Howard exploded onto the scene in the Nittany Lions’ 45-0 season-opening win over Marshall, catching six passes for 161 yards and a touchdown. Howard had just seven receptions for 133 yards during his entire freshman season.
The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman highlighted Howard as a potential breakout star Friday while discussing Penn State’s recent drought of NFL receivers.
“Penn State has experienced something of a wide receiver drought the past few years. Parker Washington, a sixth-round pick in 2023, was the last Nittany Lion wideout to get drafted; the program has had 21 other players picked since then. It’s only one game, but watch out for Koby Howard, a 5-11, 203-pound second-year player from South Florida. He lit Marshall up for six catches for 161 yards and a touchdown last week.”
