OJ Howard

NSR football prospect, OJ Howard, who currently attends Autauga Academy in Autauga, Ala, and will sign with Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide on signing day, is the sixteenth top 2013 recruit in the final Rivals.com Top 100 list.  The 6’6″, 220-pound tight end carries a 3.3 GPA and runs an impressive 4.49 in the 40-yard dash.  His NSR on-the-ground scout Robert Cagle describes OJ in his scouting report to college coaches:  “WOW!  Ok. Here it is the scouting report for OJ!!  OJ Howard may be the most impressive football athlete that I have ever seen!  This young man looks like a player.  This young man is fast.  This young man has great hips.  This young man has good hands.  This young man has vision on the field.  OJ has an extra gear when the ball is in his hand. He is a big, strong physical player.  His physical presence is nothing less than impressive.  This kid reminds me of a Cameron Newton type player.  OJ’s 4.49 speed and his ability to burst into the open and leave defenders behind is something to see. Coaches, OJ is the prospect you want to get to know NOW!”  That was written two years ago.  In his initial essay to college coaches as a sophomore, OJ said, “I am a member of the Beta  Club & Honor Roll. I attend  The Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church in Autaugaville, AL where I have been a faithful member for 15 years participating in the usher ministry and audio & studio ministry.  I have  played varsity football for Autauga Academy since my 9th grade year. During my first season I made All-County as well as  Honorable Mention All-State. During my  sophomore year I set the school  record for most receptions & touchdowns in a single season. I also made All-State, All-County & All-Metro. My athletic goal is to play D-1 college football someday, but I know in order for me to accomplish this goal I will have to keep God first,  stay humble,  excel in the classroom as well as in the weight room and on the playing field.”
