Jamar Howard is part of the 2020 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction class. The class will be inducted on Sat., Jan. 25.
Jamar Howard never hid his personality while playing basketball for Wichita State, which made him a fan favorite in Charles Koch Arena and a target on the road.
He came to Wichita State in 2001 to help coach Mark Turgeon rebuild. For the fans, he became an immediate rallying point for his energetic playing style, combative nature and smile.
"I thought he was an all-around amazing person," said Joe Stroud, a long-time fan who lists Howard as among his favorite Shockers.
