There was a time when Florida Atlantic running back Gregory Howell Jr., wanted all the carries.
He viewed himself as a back who needed 20 rushes just to get going. But no more. Howell is now fine with being just a piece of the Owls’ backfield puzzle. The reason is simple. FAU has three capable runners who are able to shoulder the load.
Howell, Kerrith Whyte and Devin Singletary give the Owls one of the best running back collections in Conference USA.
“It’s hard when the backups are just as talented,” said Howell, a senior.
