Sam Howell is the current starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders franchise of the NFL. Born on September 16, 2000, the 23-year-old is now well into his second season as a professional football player. Howell entered the NFL as a fifth-round draftee in the 2022 NFL Draft even though he was expected to be selected much earlier.

After starting his rookie season as the Commander’s third-string quarterback, Howell got the chance to start and play in the last regular season game of the season in week 18 after the team was already eliminated from playoff contention.

Prior to entering the NFL, the North Carolina native put up pretty solid performances both in college and in high school. Attending Sun Valley High School in North Carolina, Howell passed for 13,415 yards while throwing 145 touchdowns and added another 3,621 yards and 60 touchdowns on the ground.

He would continue his success at the University of North Carolina where his three years yielded 10,283 passing yards to go along with 92 passing touchdowns while adding a little over 1,000 rushing yards and a further 17 touchdowns. In 2019, he was named the ACC Rookie of the Year. Of course, all this success before turning professional means that he had the support of his family behind him, so let us find out who are the proud parents of Sam Howell.

Sam Howell Parents

Howell was born in September 2000 to parents Duke and Amy Howell. He was born in the city of Waynesville, North Carolina and his parents raised him and his siblings in the same state. Duke and Amy are proud parents of three children; two sons and one daughter.

Sam Howell Father

Not much is known about his parents but the most important thing probably is that his father is a football coach and he was the offensive coordinator for his son during his high school days at Sun Valley High School. It goes without saying that Duke Howell is now extremely proud to see that his son has reached the highest level the game has to offer.

Sam Howell Mother

As for his mother, there is no further information about her except for the fact that she has been a huge support for him throughout his life on and off the field. She has been seen many times at his games cheering him on as any proud mother would.

What Nationality Are Sam Howell’s Parents?

Despite both of Sam’s parents being Americans by nationality, the family has an interesting past which connects them to South Korea. In fact, Sam Howell himself is of partial Korean heritage. The connection started back during the Korean War when Sam Howell’s paternal grandfather, Bruce Howell, was a serviceman stationed in Korea.

As luck would have it, Bruce Howell fell in love with Han (Sam Howell’s paternal grandmother), the Korean daughter of Myong Sok Park and Kum Ok Yang. Bruce and Han later settled in North Carolina but with the sudden demise of Howell Sr., Han was left to raise both of her children alone in a new country. Not one to back down from adversity, Han pulled through the tough days and was always seen supporting her son, Duke and then later her grandson, Sam Howell during their college football days.

Sam Howell Siblings

Sam Howell is known to have two siblings, an elder sister named Anna and a younger brother named Will. There is not much more information about them.
