Josh Howe
When Josh Howe visited the Rams, he knew his search was over. āI really enjoyed how everything was really close together on campus and the way the football coaches hold the team accountable with things like workouts and study hall,ā he said. āAlso, all the guys that I talked to were fantastic people and I canāt wait to spend more time with them.ā
Howe, who is interested in education, added that the coaches were āreally down to earth and approachable. Every one of them that I met seems to be fantastic and I have absolutely nothing bad to say about them!ā
Howe grew up in Medicine Hat, Alberta, where he played football for nine years. He played high school ball with the Medicine Hat Mohawks (RFC). He was also a member of the Medicine Hat Hawks (Rangeland Bantam Football). The 6ā2, 220lbs defensive end and tight end was an RFC champion and RFC all-star.
