Daniel Howard: Career

Daniel Howard from Millwood had to compete for a position on the Falcons in The Oklahoman’s Super 30

His memory of the phrase is quite strong. The effort, devotion, cooperation, and companionship. These success criteria weren’t familiar to the lanky athlete Daniel Howard when he first came to Millwood in the spring before his sophomore year.

The way I feel like I had to change my personality, Howard stated. “I had to learn how to fit in with what everyone here had already committed to,” the speaker said. On The Oklahoman’s list of the top 30 recruits for the upcoming senior class, Howard is listed at position number 28.

At the next level, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound all-around athlete will decide between playing quarterback and defensive back. He has already received scholarship offers from Missouri State, Texas State, and Utah State, and he is on the rise thanks to impressive performances at a few college camps.

Howard’s varsity career had a challenging start. Howard played quarterback and was a standout defender as a freshman at Centennial High School, but his squad finished 1-9.

He engaged in intense debates over his roles in various formations and scenarios during his first few practices at Millwood with older teammates and coaches.

The idea of selfless play and accountability, however, started to take hold under the leadership of head coach Darwin Franklin and defensive coordinator Malcolm Mack.

Franklin recalled advising Howard during his first few practices, “‘You just wait,'” he recalled. The same ideas will be preached to the young guys by you when you are a senior. According to Franklin, building trust between a high school athlete and a coach is a delicate process.

But Howard’s thorough devotion to his teammates and willingness to go above and beyond in the weight room, the film room, and practice have more than earned them. When starting quarterback Montrell Wilson suffered an injury during the state playoff matchup between Millwood and Alva last season, they were playing in the semifinals.

Howard convinced his teammate on the sidelines that he was prepared to take over after excelling as a defensive back and in his few brief stints at quarterback.

I assured him that I had you, Howard said. I was aware that everyone was depending on me. I wouldn’t fail to deliver for them. To get to the Class 2A final game, Howard went on toss two touchdown passes.

Howard made his first varsity quarterback start in the championship game versus Washington. He went on to throw for 172 yards and two scores, including a 40-yard touchdown pass to his older brother Dezmond.

Daniel Howard admitted, “I was pretty apprehensive that whole week.” “When the title was on the line, I realized I had to do what I could to help my team. “I felt equipped for the circumstance.”

As he spent the first few sessions teaching younger players how to own their assignment and play the Millwood way, Howard said his coach’s early prediction about this spring came true.

Daniel Howard remarked, “Now that I’m a senior, I have to speak up and assume that responsibility. “I abhor losing. I despise it more than I like triumphing.” For the entire season, Howard is expected to start at quarterback and continue to play aggressively in the defensive backfield.
