Ohio State QB Will Howard “Can Take the Buckeyes Deep This Year” According to Former Teammate.

Though the second day of player availability in Indianapolis was dominated by praise for current collegiate players, the NFL Combine has left its stamp on the future of the professional sports league. It’s safe to assume that Ohio State Buckeyes supporters are thrilled with the high regard given to their incoming signal-caller Will Howard.

 

Former Kansas State teammate and NFL Draft prospect Ben Sinnott discussed the kind of player Howard is and what Ohio State supporters may anticipate.

On Thursday in Indianapolis, Sinnott did not hold back when praising his former quarterback in an interview with the media. Sinnott talked extensively about what makes Howard unique and how thrilled he is to see him perform in Columbus.

Sinnott responded, “Expect a fighter,” when asked what Ohio State supporters may anticipate. “One of the hardest workers I’ve ever met, he’s a warrior.”

Despite his strong work ethic, Sinnott continued to play for Howard beyond the grittier on-field moments. Sinnott described in detail Howard’s intelligence, mentioning a particular moniker they used to call him in Manhattan.

Regarding Howard’s intelligence off the field, Sinnott remarked, “He’s super intelligent, we call him Rain Man.” “He’s got all the random information about anything.”

Fans of the Buckeyes will be even more excited about this development because Sinnott also brought up a specific point that might make Howard even more dangerous for Ohio State. Howard travels to Columbus with a figurative chip on his shoulder.

“He’s among the toughest guys I know and one of the hardest workers I know,” Sinnott remarked. “He is carrying one of the toughest burdens to lead the Buckeyes to victory. He makes the correct reads and checks when we need to since he is extremely knowledgeable about the game, the defense’s schemes, and where the holes will be.

Sinnott, who commanded the Kansas State pro-style offense with ease, lauded Howard’s preparation before the snap almost as much as his play on the field.

Additionally, Sinnott brought out Howard’s plenty of talent surrounding him at Ohio State in 2024.
