FSU among top 8 for Koby Howard, commitment coming at end of March

Four-star wide receiver and Rivals250 member Koby Howard finally knows when he will decide on a future home.

The Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade Madonna receiver will be committing to one of the schools in his top eight — a list that includes Ole Miss, Miami, Notre Dame, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Missouri and Florida State.

Rivals has confirmed that Howard will commit on March 31. Howard told the Osceola in an interview earlier this week that he will be unofficially visiting Florida State on March 28 as well as unofficially visiting four other programs. One of those visits includes a visit to Florida. His visit to Florida State will be the second time that Howard has visited the Seminoles this year.

"I love how the coaching staff is treating me like a priority," Howard told The Osceola earlier this week. "Anytime I can get back up to FSU I will! Coach Dugans is my man. I learn something new every time we talk. I can definitely see myself playing for him at FSU. I also love the way the fans interact with me and I can tell that their love for FSU football is deep."

Howard is ranked as the 24th best wide receiver prospect in the country and No. 24 prospect in Florida. Prior to transferring to Chaminade Madonna, Howard caught 65 passes for 1065 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in just 10 games.

If Howard's current commitment plans stay intact, he will be committing just three days after his unofficial visit to Florida State. Whether or not Howard commits to Florida State at the end of the month, the Seminoles will have a good shot by getting him on campus before his big decision.
