ATLANTA — Will Howard, like us all, has felt lost many times in life.
He felt lost as a freshman at Kansas State, when COVID isolated so many and left him living alone before being thrust — well before he was ready — into the starting job. He felt lost two years later, when, finally prepared for the starting gig as a junior, Kansas State brought in a transfer QB, Adrian Martinez.
He felt the most lost, perhaps, when his grandmother — one of his closest family members — passed away later that season.
There was plenty more feeling of loss.
