Breaking: In a Recent Interview with FOX Sports, Ohio State Quarterback Will Howard Made a Surprising Admission, Expressing Regret Over His Decision to Transfer to the Buckeyes — Full Details Below
In a moment of unexpected honesty, Ohio State quarterback Will Howard has shocked college football fans with his candid comments during a recent sit-down with FOX Sports. The former Kansas State standout, who transferred to Columbus in what was hailed as one of the biggest portal moves of the offseason, admitted that his time with the Buckeyes hasn’t lived up to expectations.
“If I’m being real, it’s not what I thought it would be,” Howard said in the interview, which aired Sunday afternoon. “There are times I’ve asked myself if this was the right move.”
Howard, who was expected to bring veteran leadership and stability to Ohio State’s quarterback room, faced an unexpectedly turbulent season. Competition for the starting role intensified quickly, with younger talent pushing for reps and fan expectations soaring from day one. Sources close to the program suggest that internal pressure and scheme adjustments may have contributed to Howard’s struggles to find rhythm and confidence on the field.
In the interview, Howard didn’t shy away from the challenges he’s faced, both on and off the field.
“The culture here is intense. Every throw, every snap is under a microscope. At Kansas State, I felt like I could just play ball. Here, it’s… different,” he said. “Sometimes I miss that feeling.”
His comments have sparked widespread reactions across the college football landscape. Some fans applauded his vulnerability, while others questioned his commitment to the program.
Despite his regrets, Howard emphasized that he’s not quitting on the Buckeyes.
“I still want to finish what I started. But I’d be lying if I said I haven’t thought about how things might’ve gone if I stayed at K-State.”
Ohio State’s coaching staff has yet to publicly respond, but insiders say they remain supportive of Howard, citing his work ethic and leadership in the locker room.
Howard’s future with the team remains uncertain as spring ball approaches, with speculation swirling about potential depth chart changes. But one thing is clear: his words have opened the door to a much-needed conversation about the mental and emotional toll that comes with being a high-profile transfer quarterback in today’s college football climate.
