Travin Howard (born May 10, 1996) is an American football linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at TCU.[1]

Early years[]

Howard was born in Longview, Texas, where he became a star at Longview High School. Playing safety, he earned District Defensive MVP honors as a senior for the Lobos in 2013.[2] He verbally committed to play at TCU and signed his national letter of intent with the Horned Frogs on February 5, 2014.[3]

College career[]

At TCU, Howard played sparingly as a freshman in 2014. After the first game of his sophomore season, Howard was moved to Linebacker and led the Horned Frogs in tackles the next week against Stephen F. Austin.[4] He went on to start the next 11 games, and would end the season as the team's leading tackler. He also earned Defensive MVP honors in the Frogs' triple-overtime victory over Oregon in the 2015 Alamo Bowl.[5]

As a full-time starter in his junior and senior seasons in Fort Worth, Howard again led the Horned Frogs in tackles - becoming the first player in program history to do so for three consecutive seasons.[6] He was named first-team All-Big 12 in both seasons and again earned Defensive MVP honors in his final collegiate game, a win over Stanford in the 2017 Alamo Bowl.[7]
