'Bama Commit OJ Howard Updates
- Thread starter StayHydrated
- Start date
Yes EE sign their financial awards now, but will sign their LOI in Feb. But once they enroll and go to class they are officially a part of the class. Per the NLI website the only one who can sign a NLI right now is JUCOs.
In regards to competition he was a star at the Rivals Challenge and the Opening. The 1 top premiere showcases over the summer. No DB or LB in the country could cover or handle him.
From the Challenge:
TE O.J. Howard, Autauga (Ala.) Autauga Academy -- Howard led a strong group of tight ends at the event, and his size, hands and route running allowed him to create separation and become a major weapon for his team. A 6-foot-6, 226-pound Alabama commit, Howard was arguably the toughest prospect to defend. He has the athleticism of a wide receiver and the size of a lineman.

I think he said he graduates in two weeks.
Negative. Brodie played at Westbrook (1A or 2A at the time) and the Smelleys played at American Christian (1A most of the time, 2A now)
Have to disagree. Even the BEST AISA teams couldn't come close to beating most region winners, much less the top teams in 1A or 2A much less any of the rest. And which Florida schools have they beat "worth noting"?
I would love to see any AISA team play Brantley, Marion County, Sweet Water, Tanner, Reeltown, Pickens County, etc. It wouldn't even be close.
How about Northview or Jay VS Escambia Academy? and guess what 95% of the public schools that played your aforementioned schools didnt beat them either so whats your point? I never said the best schools would consistently win state titles I said the best AISA schools could compete with them heck look at Bayside they were AISA just a few years ago, they compete very well every year in AHSSA.
Yes he is an EE and the best TE in the country no matter who he plays for. I will bet anything he will be on the field next fall.
According to the school's website, the semester exams run through the 20th and the last day of class before Christmas is the 21st. So unless they exempt seniors from finals, he hasn't completed his high school obligations and is not a graduate.
It said the school was founded in 1969. I guess they are one of the segregation academies that popped up round that time.

Here is an update as to what is going on:

Northview or Jay? LMAO! As I said, tell me who "worth noting" the Florida public schools that has been beaten by the AISA.
I could go on and on. Your top AISA schools couldn't and wouldn't beat Maplesville, Linden, Ragland, Cedar Bluff, or even Addison. That's just in 1A! Remember, YOU said there was little difference between your sons playing 3A AISA and 2A AHSAA and I guarantee you there is a difference. The top AISA schools can't even beat the top 1A schools much less us even discussing any of the other top teams around this state.
Bayside has had what? 2 10 win seasons since joining in 2001? They have only been good since 2010 or so. It even took them 10 years to get going in the AHSAA.
I do NOT doubt that one bit. I even agree with it 100%
Sure is.

Not sure if he counts as 'recruit' any more since he's probably enrolled but I got excited when I read this excerpt from the Nick Saban Radio Show a couple of days ago...
"A fan asked if Alabama is going to join the tight end revolution started in the NFL by New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, one of Saban’s close friends. Saban said he isn’t allowed to talk about recruits, “but we feel like we found one of those kind of players this year.” The tight end and the fullback usually draw the attention of the worst players on a defense, Saban said. “If you can have a mismatch at those two positions, or even one of those positions, it’s a tremendous advantage,” Saban said."
A two time NC-winning QB throwing the ball around to all those weapons is going to be fun to watch.

I think he could talk about him, but depending on when the show was recorded O.J. might have not been "enrolled" yet. Until he's truly on campus he can't talk about him by name.
