Former LSU QB Walker Howard makes surprising transfer decision for 2026

After spending time as a backup at LSU in 2022 and Ole Miss in 2023 and 2024, Walker Howard finally got his chance to be a college starting quarterback for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in 2025.

Unfortunately, he suffered an oblique injury in the season opener against Rice on August 30, and missed nearly 2 months of action. He appeared in 6 games for the Ragin' Cajuns, and decided to enter the transfer portal for a 3rd time when the season concluded.

Howard has now announced where he will be playing in 2026, and the move takes him back to familiar territory.
