A native of Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Will Howard played collegiate football at Kansas State (2020-23) before his transfer to Ohio State in January 2024.

While with the Kentucky State Wildcats, he was a starting backup for Skylar Thompson. Later, he got a switch to a starter after the latter went for the 2022 NFL draft.

He finished his senior season with his college career-best 1,633 passing yards 14 touchdowns, and four interceptions.

The Ohio State quarterback Will Howard seemingly has a girlfriend- at least, many fans are sure of that.

According to speculations from his social media & some insiders, Howard is currently in a relationship with Lauren Leiker, a native of Lenexa, Kansas.

Moreover, Leiker has been spotted on the field with the football player during his post-game appearances. So, it made it more obvious that the two are in a relationship.

Lauren is an alum of Kansas State University, the same college where Howard played formerly between 2020 & 2023.

She graduated in 2023 with a degree in Human Health Biology and Integrative Health Services.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Leiker works as a medical assistant at Johnson County Dermatology (May 2022- present).

Born to white American parents, Bob and Maureen King Howard, the football quarterback was in a relationship with his then-girlfriend, Callie Lundmark.

Throughout the next few years, the two frequently commented on each other’s Instagram posts.

In June 2020, when Will graduated from Downingtown West High School, she commented with two heart-eye emojis on his post.

However, by 2022, the two were not seen posting pictures of each other or making those lobby-dubby comments.

Moreover, the two do not follow each other on Instagram. It led fans to assume that the two broke up somewhere in 2022. 

Callie is the class of 2024 of Penn State University, where she pursues a degree in Fianance (Business).

According to her LinkedIn profile, she works as an incoming portfolio management analyst at Hall Capital Partners.
