Former Kansas State quarterback Will Howard is on track to become a starter at Ohio State.
That may have been what launched an attack on the Wildcats’ offense earlier this week. Howard made comments Tuesday that suggested he felt he had to do too much at Kansas State.
It sounded like he was saying that he was surrounded by greater talent at Ohio State.
“I guess I would say I don’t feel like I have to be a hero here,” Howard told reporters. “And I feel like I have the guys around me that I just need to help, pass them the ball and make good decisions. At the end of the day, I don’t need to go out there and do anything superhuman. I just need to be myself and trust the guys around me.”
Last year, Howard started all 12 regular season games for the Wildcats. He threw for 2,643 yards and a school record 24 touchdowns. He was named to the All-Big 12 second team.
In January, Howard spoke about the decision to enter the portal, leaving before the bowl game and leaving Johnson as the starter.
“I feel like the consensus from these NFL guys and people around the league was, ‘You guys need to play more. And we need to see more high-level play,'” Howard said. “And I feel like I played a lot of football in my time at K-State, but I was only the true starter for one year.”
