NSR<\/strong> football prospect, OJ Howard<\/a><\/strong>, who currently attends Autauga Academy in Autauga, Ala,\u00a0and\u00a0will sign with Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide on signing day,\u00a0is the sixteenth top 2013 recruit in the final Rivals.com Top 100 list.\u00a0 The 6’6″, 220-pound tight end carries a 3.3 GPA and runs an impressive 4.49 in the 40-yard dash.\u00a0 His NSR<\/strong> on-the-ground scout Robert Cagle<\/strong> describes OJ in his scouting report to college coaches:\u00a0 “WOW!\u00a0 Ok. Here it is the scouting report for OJ!!\u00a0 OJ Howard may be the most impressive football athlete that I have ever seen!\u00a0 This young man looks like a player.\u00a0 This young man is fast.\u00a0 This young man has great hips.\u00a0 This young man has good hands.\u00a0 This young man has vision on the field.\u00a0 OJ has an extra gear when the ball is in his hand. He is a big, strong physical player.\u00a0 His physical presence is nothing less than impressive.\u00a0 This kid reminds me of a Cameron Newton type player.\u00a0 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!”\u00a0 That was written two years ago.\u00a0 In his initial\u00a0essay to college coaches as a sophomore, OJ said, “I am a member of the Beta\u00a0 Club & Honor\u00a0Roll. I attend\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I have\u00a0 played varsity football for Autauga Academy since my 9th grade year. During my first season I made All-County as well as\u00a0 Honorable Mention All-State. During my\u00a0 sophomore year I set the school\u00a0 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,\u00a0 stay humble,\u00a0 excel in the classroom as well as in the weight room and on the playing field.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
