This Saturday when the UT-Martin Skyhawks take the field against Missouri State in the first round of the FCS playoffs emotions will be high and nerves will be abound for essentially every player, coach and fan. It’s the playoffs after all; win or go home. These guys should have all these feelings in a game like this, especially the seniors. For one senior, though, the pomp and circumstance of the postseason might mean a little more.
For UT-Martin QB Keon Howard, this contest will serve as the culmination of a collegiate career defined by perseverance and grittiness.
