The MOST CONFUSING TRANSFER QB in College Football (Meet Will Howard) 

What do you think of the Will Howard Ohio State fit? What transfer should I cover next?

I think Howard has the skills that Ohio State needs for a successful one-year, gap-plugging QB. He'll be surrounded by a huge upgrade in offensive weapons, and with his running capability in a Chip Kelly offensive scheme, they will be a terror for opposing defenses. He will also have great support from a dominating Buckeye defense. Howard's big game experience, maturity, and leadership skills will be vital in the playoffs. Overall, he may be the perfect fit for this season. This is an amazing opportunity for Howard to step up to his full potential and launch an NFL career. It should be fun to watch......

Will Howard is better than Kyle McCord and that’s all OSU really needs.

Will will win! He should have more weapons at OSU. While he's not going to fake anyone out of their jock, he does have good straight line speed. He's also big, 6'5" and 240. He can take a hit and isn't easy for corners and safeties to bring down. One more benefit, Will is a team player, he'll be a great mentor for the younger QB's. Good Luck Will! EMAW

Spot on move. Needed: one QB with experience willing to leave when the next man up is available, good ability to run, you'll need it.

Thought at first you were talking about 5 star and #1 overall QB from 2024 class Julian Sayin. He transferred from Alabama to OSU today.

As a K-State fan, I wish the best for Will.

I read an article from back in December after McCord left that inferred that Day likes his quarterbacks to be leaders and be more verbal and exuberant. I think the OSU fans are looking for a dual threat quarterback like Justin Fields or JT Barret. As great as CJ Stroud was, he was decidedly a passing QB who rarely ran. I sense the OSU fans would be happy seeing a quarterback dart off for 5, 10, 15 yards in view of getting the tough yards to keep the ball moving. Will Howard might be a one-year stopgap to fill those roles related to bringing toughness and team leadership to match the physical top teams like Michigan and Georgia.

Instant upgrade, Will Howard wants to compete at the top level of college football. Kyle McCord wants guarantees. One is a competitor, the other is an entitled daddys boy. Go Bucks!

The dude literally won a B12 title with 2 an 3* players. He is going to ball out at OSU just getting Egbuka, Tate, Innis, Smith, Graham, Henderson, Judkins, Thurman the ball!! That Seven 5* guys who All but 3 played at least One yr already! With Everybody but One starter coming back on D its gonna be best in Nation.

I think what he brings in the run game is EXACTLY what we need!!! Plus he's a great bridge QB before either Air Noland or Julian Sayin. I'm pumped for next year!!!

As an OSU fan I like it. I don’t expect him to be Justin Fields or CJ Stroud but I believe he’ll be an upgrade. He’s a more dynamic player overall. McCord is good but has nothing dynamic about his game or personality. With way better weapons around him and better overall coaching he’ll take a step forward and I think will have a great season next year which buys a year to get the next guy ready to go

With all of the pieces surrounding Will Howard, I believe he will do well. The offensive line needs to hold up for everyone to have success. With the addition of Seth McLaughlin, and with Donovan Jackson returning, those RB's should have their way this season. Unfortunately, with all of these moves, it's National Championship or bust for the Bucks.

Not sure why this is confusing to you. OSU did this because they needed some stability and senior presence at QB. Brown and Klienholtz looked awful. They’re looking for a guy to hold the fort down until the 2 5-stars coming in are ready to take over. I will bet that either Sayin or Noland will be the starter at some point.

Do a video on Phil jurkovec! He was terrible this year for Pitt.

The Buckeyes are 3 to 4 deep in every position except QB. Howard the starter and Chip Kelly calling the plays should be a great fit. I predict big things for the upcoming OSU football season. If the run game is as good as expected and Howard stays healthy I see nothing but a championship season ahead.

Absolutely agree that Howard will be successful at Ohio State, because he has the best, and most elite team around him in the country! 🌰🏈

K-State grad & fan here. Will Howard is a pretty darn good QB. He's got NFL size and pretty quick feet for a bigger QB. He will be a good QB in OSU's system. He has good poise in the pocket & can make big league throws. I don't really have much negative to say about him cause he's a nice young man too & will make a positive impression in the locker room. The only thing I can say is that Will can try and force some throws into tight coverages, which led to some key interceptions that resulted in some pick-sixes & unfortunate turnovers. These resulted in a couple of lost games for the Wildcats. I wish Will Howard well in his future endeavors.

I cant believe OSU picked this guy up. Look at his build, 6"5 250 and is mobile. Will is a pro qb and hes tough

If you know this game..at ALL.. This kid is now ready for OSU LEVEL.. NATTY.. Leadership.-10 Vision 8 Arm -9 Legs??? Dudes a clone of Rothlesburger..only with speed, elusive, vision in running. He will the Heisman.. Dont regret it.. Put up a few bucks on it and collect.

Experience is the key

McCord is gonna win maybe 4 games next season. The future looks great for the Buckeyes

not a buckeye fan and def an odd transfer. but i trust ryan day and think he might just be a piece with a guy with confidence.

Even if he is the same passer as McCord but can scramble that would be a huge upgrade

Have to agree with you about Will Howard. You have to have some questions about a player when the fan base isn't very upset when they transfer. He might be a little better than McCord but time will tell. McCord just lacked a competitive drive (very clear to Ohio State fans that watched him and listened to things he said in interviews) and is the one thing Howard definitely has over him and Howard is much more physical that McCord. The systems Kansas and Ohio State run are VERY different. Day's system heavily relies on the QB to make protection changes at the line and read the entire field among other differences to most college offenses. It is a very pro type of offense and more complex than most other college systems. Stroud said the system they run at Huston is simpler than what he ran at Ohio State under Day. I think Day just was looking for more "options" at QB until Air Nolan would be ready to start. But now with Ohio State getting former Bama 5* QB Julian Sayin it will be interesting to see how the QB room shakes out. Don't think Air would just sit behind Julian if he wins the starting job and vice-versa. Devin Brown I don't think will go anywhere regardless. He seems pretty committed to us but we'll see. Lincoln Kienholz is a "project" QB prospect and was in WAY over his head in the bowl game. One thing I've learned with the new portal rules is no one is truly committed anymore. Coaches need to keep recruiting players on the roster now.

State best win it all next year with all the transfers coming In. Anything less is bye bye day. In my eyes. .

Remember that Devin Brown didn't burn his eligibility like Kyle McCord did. He's got three years. He isn't forced to move in 2024 if he is QB2, and whichever one is QB1, the other one can play the same running QB role, so getting the running QB knocked out does not require a midseason revamp of the offense

Way more mobile than McCord and is not afraid to leave the pocket not to mention experience

How is this confusing? Howard has mobility where as McCord was incapable to extending plays with his legs and couldn't read a defense to save his life. Howard is an experienced QB who will do well at Ohio State

lol he went too my high school Dwest his brother going too K state has a d1 lineman

I don’t find it weird at all given who the new OC is..

Devin Brown is NOT the answer. Mr Glass #33 should have transferred.

You don't understand what The OSU is doing? Winning a Natty, obviously.

I really don’t see how he’s an upgrade for Ohio State! Everyone is very high on him for some reason but I feel like it’s a lateral move! I do t think he’s any better than McCord! People act like McCord was trash but he was good, solid QB! I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see it

You just said that brown and Kienholz weren't ready then said you don't know why they would want howard. You're the one that don't make sense.

Bro put the stats on the screen

Look who was after Mccord, Nebraska? Did you here of any other programs that wanted him? Nope. Who was after Howard? Usc and Osu are the 2 I can think of. As far as Mizzou seems there fan base is excited about there current young qb

So I assume Will meets your requirements for not being in college to long, per your last video.

he probably wanted to get developed by coaches with nfl experience maybe

Kansas state are morons for letting Howard go. Johnson must of said it me or him!

Hes the only one that can beat Michigan that's why Ohio st got him

They aren’t the same player what so ever

It's not confusing. You are confused.

He went back to a place closer to home Ohio state didn’t appreciate his talent

He was bad and to go to a 3rd rate school like he did proves it

Will Howard is a MUCH better QB than Kyle Mccord. You will be proven off on this one.

Howard is not better than McCord… he’s the Kmart version of him

Howard is barley an upgrade from Honda McCord. Good luck.

OSU cannot beat Michigan because Ryan Day cannot beat Michigan. Harbaugh said he was born on third base a la Urban Meyer's players.

so hes just another Kyle McCord

Will Howard went to Ohio State because he will not be a good QB in the NFL. That NIL money for a year will be great for him before he get a real adult job.

Lmao Ohio state fan so butt hurt Kyle is way better you lost Michigan because you’re coach…. 😂 LETS GO ORANGE 🍊 🥶

Can’t find your instagram

He's an upgrade from Kyle McCord and can provide some veteran leadership in the QB room

If you watched any OSU games you would see McCord coukd not process the field an couldn't get through reads. He locked in on Harrison an just threw ball. All yr guys where running wide open down the field. Howard is smart an can get through reads. Howard can also climb in the pocket to give WRs a little more time to get open. McCord would just keep dropping back right into a sack instead of climbing pocket!! Howard is a massive upgrade as long as he can learn offense!!

Howard was picked up before Saban's retirement. Now the QB room has 5-stars Air Noland and Sayin, Howard is not above competition. With his job on the line, Ryan Day cannot play favorites and use seniority like he did with Kyle McCord.

He’s already accomplished everything we could have ever expected at K-state and has nothing left to prove. We have the highest recruit in school history that sat behind him for a year and we don’t want him to transfer. ( no sense keeping Will for a year and gambling 2-3 years of Avery) Will put up monster stats at K-state and he’ll have better weapons at Ohio st

He’s better than McCord and better than Devin brown he’s clearly an upgrade how is that confusing for you? Smh terrible video

McCord was a five star, but nothing about him wows you. He would've fit in with the Tressell era.

We need a QB that can move the chains. That's it!

It seems like our quarterback room is getting a little bit better

Gonna miss him at kstate but excited for Avery Johnson. #emaw

Will Howard has shown flashes of greatness but flatlines at times. Kinda like Sean Clifford or Drew Allar.

He has the same arm as McCord but he can expand plays and run. This is a great place for Howard.

Howard didn't have the talent at Kansas like he'll have at OSU plus the best 1,2 punch at running back Will don't have to be great just good with the talent McCord had his numbers with great talent Howard will be better than McCord Roll Buckeye's

Howard and McCord put up comparable stats last year. The difference is McCord was throwing to the best receiver in the country and Howard was throwing to receivers that wouldn't even be backups at Ohio State. He will be just fine this year.

If he plays for Ohio State the way he played against Texas, Ohio State is in for an incredible season.

Have you seen how much more mobile he is than mccord what kinda comparison is this😂

They will be calling the Gunslinger by the time he wins at Oregon....

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Malachi Nelson coming to BSU. Particularly how he’ll fit in follow the departure of Taylen Green.

Howard and McCord are similar except Howard can run, howard inspires confidence when he speaks, seems to be a great leader, huge upgrade

Funniest thing would be will Howard going there and losing out to one of them freshman

McCord has no fire in him at all. Looked all season like he didn’t want to be there.

McCord and Howard had comparable throwing numbers. However, Howard threw the ball better under pressure than McCord and was better at evading pressure. He was also much better at rushing the football. Keep in mind that Howard's best receiver was a fullback. True, he had comparable numbers, but he wasn't throwing to an elite group of players. Howard did not have Harrison Jr, Egbuka, Fleming, etc, on the edges and did not have Henderson out of the backfield to throw to. I'd say it will be an upgrade, but only time will tell.

Devin Brown is majorly injury prone. Even then he is a major question mark as he hasnt played much. They didnt have confidence in him. Why is it confusing? You said Howard will be good. He will definitely be better than Brown.

Have you seen his running ability vs mcccords? Huge difference.

Will Howard will at least throw the ball down field and give our WRs a chance. He’s mobile. McCord skips reads and literally pees down his leg when there’s any pressure which causes him to throw to the check down or throw the ball away. Howard will be able to avoid the rush extend plays, and throw the ball down field

His HS wideouts had insane burners

He might not be an upgrade but he doesn't have to he great at OSU to win the Big Ten and reach a natty appearance. Oddly enough, Kyle could probably get us there too had he stuck around.

You're confused by this transfer? Will Howard could be AMAZING with the weapons at OSU. He's a huge upgrade to McCord.

He’s a great fit! Air Noland is that dude but he’s gonna need to sit a year. Howard a huge upgrade from McCord. GO BUCKEYES!!!

I was hoping Cam Ward or Dillon Gabriel B was gonna be a buckeye. Both are elite and would make Ohio State thee best team in college football

Great kid. Inconsistent. He's great when he's great, and a blunder when he's not. Best of luck to him. Will be interesting to see how he does with NFL quality WR that he has never had at K-State. K-State NEVER has a stable big time playmakers at WR like OSU has every year.

This video makes zero sense. Will Howard is easily an upgrade over McCord. It wasn't just McCords play that drew hire from the fan base. It was his "dont give a damn" attitude. If this transfer confuses you then you simply dont understand football and what was holding one of the most talented teams in CFB back.

Honestly I'm not convinced hes better than McCord, but hes a much better fit in Chip Kellys offense

Will Howard isnt the biggest splash in the portal but if you watched the Buckeyes, all they needed was a competent QB that can stretch plays and run when needed. McCord was neither, he was a good QB with no ability to go through his reads and didnt wanna run or move in the pocket to stretch plays. Hope McCord is successful at Syracuse but i doubt it and i really really really hope Howard is the confident presence to get the Bucks over the top.

this guy obviously knows nothing about football, sick of people who have never balled talking about football

Will we do good at OSU he's a senior seen it all a big body and can run which will keep the defenses just honest enough to open up the best wr room in the country he ain't never had this good of wrs and rbs to hand it off to and can just take off with it as well and he has the best defense in the nation on the other side of the ball he's gonna raise his draft stock waaaaay up this year just watch and c it's a smart move

I think OSU just wanted someone who was older to help develop the younger guys. But it’s a risky move with the portal making moving along so easy/

I think they brought him in to compete with D Brown. They don’t have confidence in Lincoln yet and the true freshmen won’t be ready

If you think Will Howard and McCord are the same then you need to find something else other than college football to talk about

A year of the best QB coaching in the country imho the reason Will Howard transfered to OSU.

Jeremiah Smith wanted Will Howard there

Ohio State will roll in this years championship game at the Ohio State University

So many bad takes in this video. Stopped watching after about a minute.

You should do a video on Bryce brown that would be interesting

Ohio state does better with a dual threat QB, thats whatvit boils down to

Its not confusing 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

All I know is Avery Johnson is gonna be a freak

McCord had -65 yards rushing Enough said.
