MiniBio

He’s a standout collegiate defensive back who first stepped onto the scene at the University of Iowa as a freshman in 2021. From the very start, he made an impact, and just one year later, his performance earned him a spot on the first-team All-Big Ten—a huge accomplishment that put him on the map. While primarily known for playing cornerback, he’s shown impressive versatility by also logging reps at linebacker, safety, and even stepping up as a punt returner when needed.

Before all the accolades, though, he was already making waves back home. As a senior in high school, he was rated as a four-star prospect, drawing attention from recruiters across the country. His athleticism wasn’t limited to just football—he played basketball, baseball, and ran track too, showing off his all-around talent. Born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, he spent most of his formative years in Odebolt, Iowa, a small town with just over 900 residents, where he grew up living with his parents. It’s kind of remarkable to think that someone from such a quiet, close-knit community has risen so quickly in the college football world. He’s definitely one to watch moving forward.

Trivia

He wrapped up his high school basketball journey as one of the most dominant scorers in Iowa state history, finishing with the second-highest point total ever recorded. On top of that, he made waves on the track, setting a brand-new state record in the men’s 100-yard dash during his time in high school—showing just how versatile and talented he truly is. Standing at an impressive 6’1” and weighing just under 210 pounds, he has the ideal build for a high-performance athlete. His outstanding achievements didn’t go unnoticed, and eventually, he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 draft. He’s clearly someone who keeps raising the bar, both on the court and on the field.

That early experience definitely helped shape his on-camera energy and timing. Oh, and fun fact: he was born in Virginia, adding that Southern flavor to his charm.

Actor Movie

When he was just a teenager, this baby-faced leading man saw his career take off in a big way—thanks to his deeply moving performance as Ponyboy Curtis, the thoughtful greaser with a poet’s heart, in Francis Ford Coppola’s iconic film *The Outsiders* (1983). Howell truly captured audiences’ attention back then, emerging as a standout among the young cast. For a brief moment, it seemed like Howell was on the fast track to lasting fame, gracing the covers of teen magazines and building a loyal fanbase. But as quickly as it began, that Tiger Beat spotlight started to fade after only a few years. Though he appeared in modest successes like *Red Dawn* (1984) and the comedy *Soul Man* (1986), Howell’s trajectory shifted. By the late '80s and into the 1990s, many of his roles landed straight to video or filled out TV movie slots—not exactly the kind of projects that reignite blockbuster momentum. Looking back at the all-star ensemble from *The Outsiders*, it's clear that Howell’s early promise was later eclipsed by the massive careers of his peers: Ralph Macchio soared with *The Karate Kid*, Emilio Estevez became a Brat Pack icon, and Tom Cruise? Well, *Top Gun* turned him into a global superstar almost overnight. Still, despite the changing tides of Hollywood, Howell never stopped working. He embraced his path with quiet determination, appearing in more than 50 films over the years. And while not all of them were critical darlings, Howell consistently brought sincerity and depth to his roles. Even when the scripts weren’t award-worthy, Howell held his ground as a dependable and heartfelt performer. So while the world may have moved on, Howell kept showing up—proving that a true actor’s journey isn’t always about the spotlight, but about staying true to the craft.
