The Career of Brian Howell

THE CAREER OF BRIAN HOWELL

Background

2011 Kansas HS Football State Championship
Lawrence HS Lions vs Manhattan HS Indians

Brian Howell, junior, took the snap for the Lawrence Lions late in the fourth quarter, Lions down by 3. Play action to the halfback. Rolled out to the right. Went through his reads, when WHAM! Hit on the blindside by a 6'5" 260-pound Manhattan defensive end. Fumble by Howell, returned for a touchdown by Manhattan. Howell lay on the field at Welch Stadium in pain, grabbing his right thigh.

Manhattan won by 13 points, and, even worse, Howell broke his femur on the hit. He had gone down awkwardly after the hit, and would be out until the middle of May 2012.

Before this, Howell had been a very good junior, then a three-star recruit. With this injury, he had said he'd be dropping football, and was removed entirely from all recruiting databases. With him rejoining football in mid-June, he was reset on all recruiting databases nationally. He had to restart completely, and come back from adversity.

The question now, for the Lawrence Lions, is: Can Brian Howell recover from this injury and gain scholarships from prominent schools?

Can Lawrence make it back to the state championship game?

Stay tuned to find out.

Hopefully we can post. Fun to see a bunch of these popping up again. Wish I had done a different position though since they are all QBs at the moment.

Good luck, following.

LAWRENCE DESTROYS GARDEN CITY IN SEASON OPENER

Brian Howell looked shaky in his return with 3 interceptions, but it didn't matter as Lawrence blew out Garden City in their season opener, 56-3. Howell had 6 touchdowns through the air, with 434 yards. He had over 450 total yards, with 45 rushing yards on 9 attempts. Hopefully, he can cut down on the picks and lead Lawrence to a state title. Go Lions!

Stats:
21/30 434 YDS 6/3 TD/INT
9 RUSH 45 YDS 10 AVG

RECRUITING NOTES

After the game, Howell was contacted by the University of Colorado-Boulder, who indicated some interest in him. We'll see if they offer a scholarship, of which Howell has not been offered any thus far.

Howell was bumped up on 247Sports and Rivals from unranked to 1-star.

I mean, considering his charisma is as high as it is, he could probably get away with a lot, in terms of stuff like that. Plus, that game was definitely a confidence booster, especially in terms of the defense stepping up big time. Thanks for checking in!
