Penn State wide receiver Koby Howard is out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury
Penn State wide receiver Koby Howard's hot start has come to a sudden stop. Coach Matt Campbell said Wednesday that Howard will be out for an extended period of time with an undisclosed injury he sustained during a win over Buffalo last weekend. Campbell did not specify how long Howard might be out, but added the injury was not season-ending.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State's promising wide receiver Koby Howard's stellar season has abruptly ended. On Wednesday, head coach Matt Campbell announced that Howard would be sidelined for an extended duration due to an undisclosed injury sustained during a recent game against Buffalo. While the coach did not disclose the length of Howard's absence, he reassured that the injury was not season-ending.
On the day of the injury, Howard showcased his skills by setting a 70-yard catch-and-run touchdown, amassing 135 yards of total offense and securing two scores. Initially, Campbell had expressed optimism about Howard's potential return as early as Saturday when the 13th-ranked Nittany Lions (3-0) were set to face Wisconsin in their first Big Ten game.
However, Penn State will now have to start the new season without their key playmaker in the receiving department. Coach Campbell acknowledged Howard's disappointment with the news, but praised the young athlete for his strong handling of the situation.
