Howard played cornerback for the Hokies, getting on the field for 23 defensive snaps for his career, plus a further 119 snaps on special teams. He saw most of his action on kickoff coverage and as part of the punt return team.
Briefly moved to running back during the 2022 season, he never saw game action at that position, as he was quickly moved back to cornerback following injuries to Cam Johnson and Devin Alves.
Howard’s departure drops the Hokies to 89 scholarship players, which means that at least four more scholarship players will be departing the program soon.
