Dual sport athlete, AJ Howard loves to compete in anything: football, 7v7, track, basketball…he'd even try competitive eating if there was a league for it. What separates him from other prospects is his coachability, dedication, and love for competition. As a leader, AJ gets along with teammates on/off the field, and there's nothing more important than winning. He'll do whatever it takes to progress: late night practices, wake up early for drills, or watch film during lunch. During family vacation, he was found by the beach alone doing a ladder drill workout to get better footwork.
