Will Howard is aiming to boost his prospect as he prepares for the NFL Draft at Ohio State’s pro day in Columbus this past Wednesday.
Formerly the quarterback at Kansas State, Howard wrapped up his collegiate career at Ohio State with an unforgettable season. He took the Buckeyes all the way to a national championship victory, dominating the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. Under his leadership, Ohio State triumphed over Tennessee at home, outshone Oregon in the Rose Bowl, outpaced Texas in the Cotton Bowl, and finally clinched the title against Notre Dame.
At 23, Howard is now ready to leap into the National Football League. Many peg him as a likely Day 2 selection, though there’s always room for him to climb higher in the rankings.
During Ohio State’s pro day held in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center—Ohio State’s own football stronghold—Howard had the support of friends and family. The event saw Howard and several Buckeye teammates performing in front of hundreds of NFL coaches, scouts, and team executives.
Howard’s girlfriend, Skyler Skoglund, became an online sensation when she was spotted during the pro day.
A tweet by Patrick Murphy captured Howard and his family basking in what he felt was a successful workout at Ohio State’s pro day. Skyler, who’s amassed quite a following on Instagram during Howard’s College Football Playoff journey, had previously shared her pride with a post captioned “Ohio’s finest 🏆” celebrating Howard’s championship win.
Skyler is no stranger to the spotlight; her Instagram showcases bold swimsuit photos that have captivated her audience. With over 5,000 followers and counting, her online presence is expected to grow, parallel to Howard’s journey to the 2025 NFL Draft scheduled for late April in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
As Howard prepares for this pivotal moment, he and his family eagerly await to learn which NFL team he will be joining. The draft will kick off with its first round on Thursday, April 24.
