Breaking: 5-Star QB Will Howard Decommits from Ohio State, Chooses Penn State
In a stunning turn of events, five-star quarterback Will Howard has officially decommitted from Ohio State and committed to Penn State, choosing the Nittany Lions over the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators. The 6-foot-4, 236-pound signal-caller made his announcement earlier today, sending shockwaves through the college football world.
Howard, who had been committed to Ohio State for several months, was widely considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation. His size, arm strength, and ability to make plays both in and out of the pocket made him a coveted recruit among top programs. Many experts believed he was locked in with the Buckeyes, but Penn State’s persistence and vision for his future ultimately won him over.
“I want to thank Ohio State, Coach Day, and the entire staff for believing in me, but after much thought and prayer, I have decided that Penn State is the best place for me,” Howard said in his announcement. “The culture, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to lead this team to championships made this decision clear. I’m excited to be a Nittany Lion!”
Penn State head coach James Franklin and his staff have been aggressively pursuing Howard, recognizing his potential to elevate the program’s offense. With his commitment, the Nittany Lions secure one of the most talented quarterbacks in the country, adding to an already impressive recruiting class.
Howard’s decision also delivers a major blow to Georgia and Florida, both of whom were making a late push to land the star quarterback. Meanwhile, Ohio State now finds itself scrambling to reevaluate its quarterback situation moving forward.
Penn State fans and players quickly took to social media to celebrate the news, with the official team account posting, “Welcome to the family, Will Howard!” The commitment solidifies Penn State’s quarterback room for the future and signals the program’s continued rise as a national contender.
