Howard, a top commit for the Badgers under the previous regime, had initially de-committed from Wisconsin, taking an interest in both the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Michigan Wolverines.

But, the Badgers ultimately landed Howard, who grew a connection with new head coach Luke Fickell, becoming the top defensive line addition via high school for the team.
