Winner of the 1991 Heisman trophy, Howard's acrobatic catches made him one of the most electrifying players ever to play the game.

Voted Most Valuable Player by his teammates, the All-American set standards for most points scored (138), most touchdowns (23), and most consecutive games with a scoring catch (19). Won the Heisman by the second largest margin of victory in trophy's history; His 640 first place votes (85 percent) were the most ever for a Heisman winner. Recognized as Player-of- the-Year by receiving the Walter Camp Trophy and the Maxwell Award. The Big Ten Athlete-of-the-Year also captured UPI and AP Offensive Player-of-the-Year honors as well as being named the Dunlop Pro-Am Athlete-of-the-Year.
