Will Howard, Ohio State, Player News
|
Kansas State quarterback Will Howard, who led the Wildcats to the Big 12 title last season and another bowl game this season, joined Wildcats running back Treshaun Ward among a rush of players into college football's transfer portal Monday. Most teams wr apped up regular seasons this past weekend, leading some to declare their intent to transfer. Howard and Ward are among those who are graduate transfers, meaning they could enter the portal and become immediately eligible, while players who have yet to g raduate must wait until Dec. 4 to make their announcements official. Howard emerged as the Wildcats' starter last year after injuries to Adrian Martinez, and he led them to an upset of eventual national runner-up TCU in the Big 12 title game. Howard was the clearcut starter entering this season, though he was pushed at times by freshman Avery Johnson, and threw for 2,643 yards with 24 touchdown passes and eight interceptions.Howard, who will have one year of eligibility left, had tears in his eye s as he walked off the field after his final game at Kansas State on Saturday. He accounted for two touchdowns in a 42-35 loss to Iowa State in a game played in heavy snow. In a social media post, Howard thanked Kansas State coach Chris Klieman, his team mates and the Wildcats' fanbase before concluding: "I'm looking forward to this next chapter in my life and in the possibilities that lie ahead." His departure means that Johnson, one of the nation's best dual-threat quarterbacks coming out of high schoo l, will likely start for the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) in their bowl game. Johnson threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns but may be even more dangerous on the ground - he took over for Howard against Texas Tech and ran for five TDs in a 38-21 victory . - AP College Football

Will Howard threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Cincere Mason returned an interception for a TD and No. 19 Kansas State moved closer to a berth in the Big 12 championship game by beating West Virginia 48-31 on Saturday. Kansas State (8- 3, 6-2 Big 12, No. 15 CFP) can clinch a title game spot alongside No. 4 TCU on Dec. 3 with a win in its regular season finale at home against Kansas. West Virginia (4-7, 2-6) failed to become bowl eligible for the second time under fourth-year coach Neal Brown and for only the fourth time since 2000. Both team's quarterbacks played well in a battle among backups. Howard, starting in place of the injured Adrian Martinez, completed 19 of 27 passes for 294 yards. West Virginia's Garrett Greene got the nod ahead of JT Daniels after Greene's solid play in the second half of a win over Oklahoma a week ago. Greene threw three TD passes to Sam James and finished 15 of 27 passes for 204 yards.He was intercepted twice. Greene also scored on a 13-yard run. Kansas State led 28-19 after the first quarter. Mason's 37-yard interception return put the Wildcats up 14-0 a little more than 3 minutes into the game. Later in the quarter, West Virginia's Malachi Ruffin returned an interception 43 yards for a score. But West Virginia couldn't mount a comeback. By halftime, Kansas State had 312 total yards and led 41-25. It was the highest scoring first half by the Wildcats since scoring 45 against Montana State in 2008, and the most allowed by West Virginia since al lowing 56 to Baylor in 2013. The offenses slowed down considerably after halftime. West Virginia ate up nearly nine minutes of clock time on its opening possession of the third quarter, but Casey Legg's 44-yard field goal try fell short, his first miss i n 14 attempts this season. He also missed two earlier extra-point kicks. Howard threw a 43-yard TD toss to Malik Knowles in the fourth quarter. He also had a 15-yard scoring pass to Ben Sinnott in the second. - Kansas State/AP College Football

Will Howard threw for three touchdowns after Adrian Martinez exited with an injury, and No. 23 Kansas State buoyed its Big 12 title hopes with a 31-3 rout of Baylor on Saturday night. The defending conference champion Bears (6-4, 4-3 Big 12) will need he lp to get back to the championship game after a three-game winning streak had put them back in contention. The Wildcats (7-3, 5-2) went into the game in a three-way tie for second place in the Big 12 with Baylor and No. 18 Texas, which played undefeated and fourth-ranked TCU later. Howard came on after Martinez appeared to injure his lower body getting a first down on a quarterback sneak in the first quarter. The junior who threw four TD passes in a 48-0 victory over then-No. 9 Oklahoma State two weeks ago put the Wildcats ahead 7-0 on the same drive with a 15-yard scoring pass to Ben Sinnott. - Kansas State/AP College Football

From the moment he hit the field for a two-snap sequence in Kansas State's opener, quarterback Will Howard has played like a veteran. Against West Virginia's stout defense Saturday, Howard played more like one would expect for a freshman who, this time l ast year, still was in high school and starring for Downington High in Downington, Pa., four and a half hours away from Milan Puskar Stadium. Howard threw an interception on the game's opening possession. He threw another later in the quarter. And his fi nal one on the day, in the third period, was returned for a touchdown. Well aware that quarterbacks walk a fine line - earning too much praise after victories and too much criticism after losses - K-State head coach Chris Klieman forcefully defended Howa rd following the team's 37-10 defeat."We're for sure not going to hang this on Will Howard, because I think he's continuing to improve," Klieman said. "I thought he made some really good throws. We have to be better for him, and we have to be bett er with a lot of the things we're doing offensively. We've got to block better. We've got to catch the ball better. We've got to do a lot of different things." Yes, Klieman said, there might have been a throw or two Howard wanted back; Klieman added "eve ry quarterback in the country" goes through a similar dilemma every game. Not that he expects the performance to rattle Howard. "The one thing I'm not worried about is Will's confidence - any of that stuff," Klieman said of Howard, who completed 19 of hi s 37 passes (51%) for 184 yards and a touchdown along with the three interceptions. "Will's got the 'it factor.' He'll be just fine." - Manhattan Mercury

Kansas State got another non-offensive touchdown and a solid performance from a true freshman quarterback in his first start against one of the Big 12's best defensive coaches. That was enough for the Wildcats to improve to 3-0 in the Big 12 Conference.
