**Breaking News: 5-Star Quarterback Will Howard Decommits from Ohio State, Chooses Penn State**<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a stunning turn of events, 5-star quarterback Will Howard has decommitted from Ohio State and made his decision to join Penn State, choosing the Nittany Lions over heavy competition from Alabama and Notre Dame. Howard\u2019s commitment to Penn State has sent shockwaves through the college football world, as the highly-touted prospect had long been considered a future star at Ohio State.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The decision, which was made official earlier today, marks a significant moment in the recruiting landscape. Howard, a dual-threat quarterback from the class of 2026, has been one of the most sought-after prospects in the country, and his commitment to Penn State is a massive win for head coach James Franklin and his staff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a statement, Howard expressed his excitement about the new chapter in his football career. “I’m beyond excited to be part of the Penn State family. The coaching staff, the facilities, and the fan base are all incredible. I’m ready to help bring championships to State College,” Howard said. The quarterback’s commitment is seen as a key building block for the future of the Penn State program, which has been consistently competitive in recent years but has yet to secure a national championship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While Howard was originally committed to Ohio State, his decision to choose Penn State over powerhouse programs like Alabama and Notre Dame highlights the growing allure of the Nittany Lions’ program under Franklin. With Howard\u2019s commitment, Penn State\u2019s recruiting class for 2026 now features one of the most highly-ranked quarterbacks in the country, giving them a legitimate contender at the most crucial position on the field.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the college football world looks forward to the 2026 season, Will Howard\u2019s choice to join Penn State adds even more excitement to the already intense recruiting race. Welcome to the family, Will!<\/p>\n\n
