Tracy Howard spoke about his experiences as a member of the Miami Hurricanes football team and in the NFL. His college teammate Anthony Chickillo was extremely critical of their college head coach Al Golden. Howard was much more diplomatic in his assessment of his collegiate career and having to retire early.
Howard started 27 games in his Miami career. Twenty-five of those came in his sophomore and senior seasons in 2013 and 2015. Howard finished his Hurricanes career with 104 tackles, one tackle for loss, five interceptions and 11 pass breakups. A five-star recruit coming out of high school Howard never reached that standard.
