The Florida Gators already have Eddy Pineiro who has already turned into a bit of a folk hero after some serious struggles with previous kickers. The rising junior will likely be kicking for another two years so getting another kicker seems a bit odd for the Gators, but you can never have too much talent at the position.

Howard is ranked as a five-star by Kohl's Kicking Camps and was an Honorable Mention for All-America consideration. The Ponte Vedra native was named a first teamer on the All-County, All-Region and All-State teams for this past season.

Here are some of his highlights:
