In a stunning turn of events, 5-star quarterback Will Howard, standing 6’4″ and weighing 236 pounds, has officially decommitted from the Ohio State Buckeyes and announced his commitment to the Kansas State Wildcats. This unexpected move has sent ripples through the college football world, as Howard was previously considered a key piece in Ohio State’s future quarterback plans.
Howard, one of the most highly sought-after quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class, had originally pledged his commitment to the Buckeyes, but after careful consideration, he opted to explore other options. Despite intense interest from powerhouse programs like the Oklahoma Sooners and the Georgia Bulldogs, Howard has ultimately chosen Kansas State as his future home. This decision is a major win for the Wildcats, who have been steadily building a strong football program under head coach Chris Klieman.
Kansas State’s rise in the college football ranks and Klieman’s proven track record of developing talent played a key role in Howard’s decision. The Wildcats have consistently outperformed expectations, and with Howard’s skill set, they are poised to elevate their program even further. The combination of Howard’s physical attributes—his impressive size, arm strength, and football IQ—along with the opportunity to make an immediate impact at Kansas State, sealed the deal.
With Howard joining the Wildcats, Kansas State’s future looks even brighter. The Wildcats have always been a tough, gritty team, and now, with a quarterback of Howard’s caliber at the helm, they can aim even higher in their quest for national prominence. This announcement marks the beginning of a new chapter for both Howard and Kansas State, and the Wildcat family is ready to welcome its new
star.
