Desmond Howard is one of the greatest athletes to ever attend the University of Michigan. Winning the Heisman his junior year, Howard led Michigan football to new heights in every way imaginable. However, Howard is much more than just a football star. Graduating from U of M with a B.A. in Mass Communication, Howard was a leader on the field and in the classroom amongst his peers. Although some might attribute Howard’s success to natural ability, he would tell you that his coachability is what set him apart from his peers.
