BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- As a freshman, Southern quarterback Austin Howard grew up in a hurry. The West St. John product led the Jaguars to their first SWAC victory of the 2014 season on the road at Prairie View A&M and didn’t look back from there, leading his team to an 8-1 conference record. Now in year two, Howard is going into fall camp as the starter and is already showing signs of becoming even better.
"You can see the confidence," said head coach Dawson Odums. "That’s what I think experience breeds: confidence. You’ve been through the fire. You’ve been in that fox hole. You’ve gotten hit. You’ve been up. You’ve had to come back. You’ve been down. You’ve made comebacks. You’ve gotten beat.
"You’ve had someone to put their arm around you. You’ve had to grow up on the job. That creates confidence, especially if you have success under all that adversity. And that’s really the thing about Austin. He doesn’t have any lack of confidence."
