I was about to post this, but didn't know if it was allowed. That is my nephew and has been working very hard for all the offers he has been getting.

Willie Howard is one of my all-time favorites!   Crossing fingers on this one!

Very cool! Congrats to your nephew. What an impressive offer list at a young age.

In terms of recruiting indicators, Jaxon Howard is followed by Mike Eubanks, Lance Anderson, and Morgan Turner (area recruiter for Minnesota) on Twitter. He is the only 2023 recruit followed by multiple coaches, and that combination suggests we like him at OLB.

Given the above, it feels like an offer will be more of a "when" than an "if." The question is when the "when" might be too late with a recruit of this caliber. (Certainly a lot of other big boy programs are in on the action early.) In recent history we've only offered sophomores in their first semester a couple times. Typically our first slew of offers comes in February/March of sophomore year, after first semester grades are out.

Fingers crossed!
