Love is in the air, folks! The Ohio State Buckeyes QB Will Howard’s love story is thickening. While his NFL fate is yet to reach its final spot, the young chap is focusing on different sports. Now while Howard enjoys his me-time dedicated to something outside football, he has got the support of his lady love, Skyler Skoglund. Looks like, she is super sure that no matter where his man puts his focus on, he is going to land it big in the pro league. As per the hush-hush, Howard is likely to replace the $200 million NFL star.
Very few players did as much for their NFL Draft stock late in the 2024 college football season as the Buckeyes QB. Howard entered this past year as essentially an afterthought in the NFL discussion. Back then, he was not even viewed as a legitimate prospect. Forget the NFL, the QB even doubted whether he would be an Ohio State starter or not. Cut to February, the tables have turned. Howard is rocketing up draft boards after his magnificent feat in the playoffs. The 23-year-old has now caught the NFL hype. As per Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski, the QB is one of the biggest risers going into the Scouting Combine. But is Howard too burdened and focused on football only? That’s surely not the case and his sweetheart takes pride in it.
On February 22, Howard posted a series of pictures on IG with the caption, “.” The first picture showed the player doing some weightlifting in the gym. The next picture had him holding a basketball. While fans poured in their love in the comment section, a particular comment must be standing out. That’s by Skoglund, of course! Even though it has been only a few months since the two started dating, no one knows Howard better than Skoglund. Her two-word message in the comment section is enough to show her love and support. The Miami University graduate wrote, “strictly business.” Now, Skoglund becoming Howard’s hype woman is no surprise.
Following the national championship, the QB shared a note of gratitude heading to the NFL Draft. He wrote, “Thank you Ohio State.” Immediately after that, his sweetheart wrote, “Proud of you, “ with a red heart emoji. With so much love and support, Howard’s future in the NFL looks kinda bright.
Will Howard’s limited experience with a high-ceiling
Already the NFL scouts have their eyes on Howard, ever since he had lifted the Championship title. According to A to Z Sports’ Destin Adams’ pre-NFL Scouting Combine, the New York Jets might be opening their gates for the Ohio State QB. In that case, Howard will be Aaron Rodgers’ replacement on the New York Jets’ QB depth chart. As we all know, Aaron Glenn will be moving forward without their veteran QB this year.
Adams wrote, “The Jets are moving off Aaron Rodgers, and they need to figure out who their starter will be in 2025. The NFL is higher on Will Howard than I see people are on social media.” Now, come on, folks! Replacing Rodgers is no easy task and clouds of doubt might appear in Howard’s future in New York. But the analyst is already sold for the Ohio State QB. After all, he only has one year of proven elite production record. However, the 2025 QB class is running with limited talent. In that case, the NFL giant would probably go for the stars who play in the trenches.
The analyst stated, “They likely would bring a vet in as well, so they don’t have to rush Howard on the field, but his tape from the College Football Playoffs looked like an NFL-ready QB to me.” With the NFL Combine knocking at the door, it’s time for Will Howard to prove himself capable of filling big shoes and making his ladylove proud.
