On Friday, Southern Miss quarterback Keon Howard announced via Twitter of his plans to transfer and continue his football career elsewhere.
With the transfer, Southern Miss will lose the experience and leadership Howard brought to the team. The rising junior has appeared in 13 games with eight starts dating back to his freshman year with the Golden Eagles.
The unanswered question of a clear-cut starter for the quarterback position has yet to be found this offseason and with Howard’s transfer, it only keeps the question from being answered.
The addition of former Louisiana Tech and Northwest Mississippi Community College transfer Jack Abraham only thickened the plot.
