Howell gets offer, has visits
Athlete prospect Dan Howell (6-2, 210, 4.6) from Newhall (Calif.) Hart is having a stellar season and is one of the reasons that Hart has been able to bounce back after three tough out of conferences losses. Hart is now hitting it on all cylinders and exactly the right time.
Howell is doing the job on both sides of the ball as a running back and defensive back.
