Howard is a Junior in Season 5...
In one episode, Vince Howard's father was given some cleats, shirts and other goodies from a "friend" at TMU (Texas Methodist University), which is a popular school in the state.
In another episode, Vince and his father meet with a booster of Oklahoma Tech who asks them to come for an unofficial visit. The booster has two young ladies be their tour guides for the day. During the visit, the booster takes them onto the field (this where it becomes obvious Oklahoma Tech = Oklahoma State). While on the field, the booster answers a phone call and says "yeah, we're on the field now." The football team runs out for practice. The booster tells Vince and his dad he had to take care of some business real quick. The head coach walks out of the tunnel and starts talking to the booster; he tells him that if he talks to Vince Howard that he is one of the top 2 guys on their board for the junior class and they'll be giving out offers the next week. First one to give a verbal gets the offer. He does this within 5 feet of Vince and his dad.
There's more stuff, but I can't think of it all right now. I tried to do a YouTube search for videos but couldn't find any.
