Howard turning heads at linebacker
At the end of last summer, nobody knew where Darrien Howard of Chaminade-Julienne (Dayton, Ohio) would play. Is he a middle linebacker? Defensive end? Maybe even a fullback?
Howard wants to play linebacker, and he turned a lot of people into believers at the NFTC.
During linebacker-versus-running back drills, Howard, a four-star prospect ranked No. 7 nationally among inside linebackers, was among the top players.
A little overweight previously, Howard has been working out with a trainer and now says he is at 242 pounds with the goal of getting to 235 soon. He thinks that will help him remain in the middle instead of being shifted to defensive end.
"I'm watching my weight for one, and getting faster," he said.
One program that wanted to see Howard's physique before extending an offer was Indiana, so the Hoosiers sent a coach to Chaminade-Julienne recently. The visit ended with a scholarship offer.
"It was a defensive coach, and they wanted a defensive coach to come look at me," Howard said.
