Freshman LSU quarterback Walker Howard has reportedly entered the transfer portal. Tiger Rag Assistant Editor William Weathers says Howard was third string on the depth chart behind starter Jayden Daniels and back-up Garrett Nussmeier.
“What I’m told is that he wanted the opportunity to compete to be the number two guy,” said Weathers.
The Lafayette native guided St. Thomas More to a state championship in 2020 and this past season appeared in two games for the Tigers. His father, Jamie Howard, played for the Tigers in the 1990s and his late mother was also an LSU graduate.
Weathers says when starting QB Jayden Daniels announced he would return for his senior season, it delayed Howard’s opportunity at getting serious playing time.
“Jayden Daniels and Garrett Nussmeier are coming back as of right now and he just felt like it was his best interest in this day and age to get on the field a little quicker,” said Weathers.
In December, LSU also signed quarterback Rickie Collins from Woodlawn High School in Baton Rouge.
