Howard, a 1984 University of Georgia graduate, has helped call Georgia football and basketball games for the last 31 years.  He began his relationship with the Bulldog football team as a color analyst alongside the late Larry Munson in the 1993 season.  In 2007, Howard broadcast play-by-play action in all of Georgia’s road football games before becoming the program’s primary voice by the third game of the next season.
