In a significant development in college football recruiting, five-star quarterback Will Howard has decommitted from Ohio State University and announced his commitment to the Clemson Tigers. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 236 pounds, Howard is among the most sought-after prospects in the 2025 class. His decision to join Clemson marks a major victory for the Tigers over other top programs, including Alabama and Georgia.
Howard’s initial commitment to Ohio State was seen as a significant addition to the Buckeyes’ future lineup. However, after further consideration, he chose to reopen his recruitment and ultimately selected Clemson. In his announcement, Howard expressed that Clemson “just felt like home,” citing the culture, coaching staff, and opportunities for development as key factors in his decision.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney welcomed Howard, highlighting his elite skill set and leadership potential. Swinney stated, “Will is a game-changer. He’s got the size, the arm talent, and the mentality that we look for in a Clemson quarterback. We can’t wait to see what he brings to this program.”
Howard’s commitment is expected to significantly bolster Clemson’s quarterback depth and enhance their competitiveness in the coming seasons. His choice underscores Clemson’s continued success in attracting top-tier talent and reinforces their position as a dominant force in college football recruiting.
