Koby Howard news
The gist
Penn State coach Matt Campbell says receiver Koby Howard will miss an extended period.
Howard had 344 receiving yards this season, so his absence tests Penn State's depth.
How it unfolded
- Sep 5, 2026Howard had six catches for 161 yards and a touchdown against Marshall, surpassing his entire 2025 season total of 133 receiving yards in the opener.
- Sep 19, 2026Howard scored two touchdowns in Penn State's 55-13 win over Buffalo — a 20-yard reverse run and a 70-yard catch — totaling 135 all-purpose yards, becoming the first Penn State receiver with a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game since KJ Hamler in 2018.
- Sep 22, 2026Campbell said Howard got "dinged up" on his second touchdown play and is questionable, adding "Right now we don't know exactly where he'll be by the end of the week."
