Howard, a three-star recruit from Chicago, Illinois, was initially a big recruiting win for head coach Luke Fickell back in the 2023 recruiting class, as Wisconsin managed to earn a commitment over a hefty offer list.
However, through two seasons at Wisconsin, Howard could never crack into the defensive line rotation, despite there being a lack of depth at the position.
