Skoglund became an internet sensation during the College Football Playoff National Championship at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Clad in a red and white moto jacket, she was visibly emotional after Howard's game-sealing pass connected with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith late in the fourth quarter.

Will Howard reflects on his CFB journey with Ohio State

Will Howard capped off his lone season at Ohio State with career-high numbers, throwing for 4,010 yards and accounting for 35 touchdowns against just 10 interceptions.

Reflecting on his journey, Howard expressed gratitude for his growth and the challenges that shaped him.

“It’s crazy to look back at all the things that have happened in my career, going from really playing as a freshman at Kansas State, not really knowing what I’m doing out there, and going into my junior year kind of lost, not really thinking I’d be playing, and then ended up winning a Big 12 Championship,” Howard said [H/t On3].

Howard attributed his success to faith and perseverance:

“I just had to trust in the Lord, man, and trust that He had a plan for me and that all the adversity that we were going through, all the tough times that I went through."
“Thankful that I got the chance to come here and to be a Buckeye and that Coach Day believed in me and that these guys believed in me,” he added. “I’m blessed, and I’m just so unbelievably thankful that I got a chance to be a Buckeye, even if it was for just one year.”

Will Howrad’s time at Buckeyes, though brief, left a lasting impression on the fans.
