Lineman from Georgia brings impressive size to Waco.
WACO, Texas – Defensive lineman Isaiah Howard from Loganville, Ga. has signed a National Letter of Intent with Baylor football and will join the team for the 2019 season.
Â
"First off, Isaiah is an explosive athlete, just a big, powerful young man," Baylor head coach Matt Rhule said. "He's someone that Evan Cooper identified and recruited. He's a guy that is game-ready strength wise and is already 285 pounds. We think he has an extremely high ceiling and are excited to see what he can do once he joins our program."
Â
The addition of Howard brings Baylor's class to 20 signees in December. Howard is the 12th defensive player to sign with the Bears and seventh defensive lineman.
