Matawan (NJ) defensive tackle Carl Howard is enjoying an excellent senior year both on and off the field. On the field, his team has six wins to zero losses. The 6-6, 280 pound Howard has made 43 tackles, anchoring the stout Matawan defense.

“Everything’s going great,” said Howard of Matawan’s season thus far. “We’re 6-0. It’s so cool that we’re winning and I can say we’re 6-0. Our defense is shutting teams down. We’re number one in the Shore (district) in defense. I want that icing on the cake though, and that’s a state championship.”

Off the field, his year is going just as well. He estimates he has received 18 official scholarship offers.

“I have received 18 full scholarship offers,” said Howard. “Recently, I got one from Nebraska. That’s the only new development in my recruiting.”
