2 2018 SEASON OUTLOOK London, Bison Want More in 2018 Howard Football seeks first conference title since 1993 WASHINGTON (July 21, 2018) With the 125th season of Howard University Football approaching, Coach Mike London and the Bison seek to take the next step and win their first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) title since After a successful 2017 campaign, HU refuses to be satisfied; thus, this year s battle cry and motto #WeWantMore. A year ago, the Bison finished 7-4 overall and 6-2 in league play, including a victory at Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) foe UNLV. Despite losing several key players due to graduation, Coach London and his superb staff has filled voids with several outstanding prospects while adding depth to various positions. Although last year s resurgence was magnificent, many believe this season s version will be even better; hence, the program s other motto #MissionPossible2.0. Offense Second-year offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Brennan Marion returns six starters from last year s explosive offense, led by All-MEAC wide receivers Kyle Anthony (Miramar, Fla.) and Jequez Ezzard (College Park, Ga.) and 2017 MEAC Rookie of the Year quarterback Caylin Newton (Atlanta). Last season, the Bison averaged nearly 30 points per game while displaying the league s top balanced offense. On the ground, Howard led the conference in rushing (215.5 ypg) and finished second in air behind reigning MEAC champions North Carolina A&T State (230.5 ypg). This season, Howard added more weapons for the second-year signal caller with the additions of wide receivers, three-star prospect A Jae Boyd (Pittsburgh, Calif.) and Tayshaun Porter (Newport News, Va.). After losing three OL starters from last year s club, HU addressed the OL with five talented prospects during the early signing period, who averaged 6 3 and 300 pounds. Howard s key losses include running back Dezmond Wortham (Frisco, Texas) and All-MEAC First Team selections Anthony Philyaw (Los Angeles) and Gerald Wright (Miami).

3 2018 SEASON OUTLOOK (CONT.) Defense A year ago, second-year defensive coordinator and 2019 College Football Hall of Fame finalist Vince Brown played several freshmen during the 2017 season; thus, watching the defense battle through growing pains. Howard returns seven starters from last season, including All-MEAC selection defensive back Bryan Cook (Cincinnati). Cook headlines an exciting secondary, which features sophomores Tye Freeland (Petersburg, Va.) and D.C. native Aaron Walker. With the addition of three-star prospect defensive back Jalen Smith (Virginia Beach, Va.) from Ocean Lakes H.S. (Va.), HU s secondary will create challenges for opposing teams air attack. Last season, second-year pass rusher Aaron Motley (Highland Springs, Va.) led the squad with five sacks while registering 39 tackles (35 solo), six pass breakups, and three forced fumbles despite missing three games. Senior Isaiah Fludd (Richmond, Va.) and junior Tyler Fuller (Manuel, Texas) also return to the DL, along with highly recruited Jayde Pierre (Sterling, Va.), who ranks No. 27 in HERO Sports 2018 recruiting class. The unit s biggest losses come in the linebacker core, losing last year s leading tackler Devin Rollins (Miami) and the versatile Elijah Anglin (Detroit). Despite their departures, Howard has an experienced set of veterans ready to fill those holes, led by seniors Marcellus Allison (Durham, N.C.), David Lee (Miramar, Fla.) and Dominique Smith (Cincinnati). Two-star prospect Jomier Augustine (Suwanee, Ga.) provides more depth to the front seven. Upcoming Season Howard s 11-game regular season slate features five home contests at Greene Stadium and two matchups against FBS opponents: at Ohio (Sept. 1); at Kent State (Sept. 8). On Sept. 15, the Bison host Savannah State in their home opener before traveling to Indianapolis for the 35th Circle City Classic against Bethune-Cookman (Sept. 22). Other notable games include Howard University Homecoming versus South Carolina State (Oct. 27), followed by long-time rival Florida A&M (Nov. 3) Howard Football Pre-Season Prospectus 4
