Scouting LB Ford Howell

There is no question that college recruiters will be parked in front of the MUS, Tenn., athletic grounds this fall as they are dotted with D1 talent through their roster. Below is a look at their star linebacker, Ford Howell

Name: Ford Howell
School: MUS (TN)
Position: Linebacker
Size: 6' 1, 221-pounds
Class: 2013
Recruitment: Clemson, Duke, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Memphis, Vandy Virginia, Wake Forest
Scout.com Ranking: NR

Scout.com evaluation: Ford is a very instinctive player who has a good knowledge of the game. He reads the plays well and gets a good jump on the ball. Howell is physical at the point of attack and wraps up his tackles well. He shines brightest when used in blitzing formations. Speed and added body mass will continue to be a focal point during the off season.
