**BREAKING NEWS: Ohio State Quarterback Will Howard Requests Contract Termination**
In a shocking turn of events, Ohio State University quarterback Will Howard has officially requested to terminate his contract, sending shockwaves through the college football world. Sources close to Howard confirm that the 20-year-old star, who had been considered one of the rising quarterbacks in college football, has become disillusioned with both the team and his role within the program.
While details about Howard’s reasons remain unclear, reports indicate that frustration over playing time, internal team dynamics, and the pressure to meet high expectations may have contributed to his decision. Howard, a transfer from Kansas State who had shown promise in limited appearances this season, reportedly met with Ohio State coaches earlier today to formally submit his request for release.
The timing of Howard’s departure is particularly notable as Ohio State’s season has been marked by uncertainty at the quarterback position. With the Buckeyes on the verge of a crucial stretch in the Big Ten, Howard’s decision to leave could have major implications for the team’s postseason hopes. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day has not yet commented publicly on the situation, but the program is expected to make a statement soon.
Howard’s departure is sure to spark a flurry of transfer speculation, with many programs likely to show interest in the talented quarterback. This development follows a growing trend of high-profile college athletes opting to leave programs in search of better opportunities, driven in part by the growing influence of NIL deals and the transfer portal.
