Ohio State has secured a major addition to its 2024 football roster by landing quarterback Will Howard through the transfer portal. Howard, previously with Kansas State, is recognized for his dual-threat abilities and extensive experience. He played a critical role in leading Kansas State to a Big 12 Championship in 2022 and has logged over 5,000 career passing yards with 48 touchdowns. As a fifth-year senior, he has one year of eligibility left and is expected to compete for the starting quarterback role at Ohio State.
Howard chose Ohio State over other prominent programs, including Miami and USC, and even considered entering the NFL draft. This acquisition aligns with the Buckeyes’ goal to strengthen their quarterback lineup, aiming to enhance their offense for a championship run in 2024
