Downingtown Borough Proclaims July 9 as “Will Howard Day”

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — On July 9, Downingtown will officially declare “Will Howard Day” in honor of the local athlete who has risen from high school football star to NFL quarterback. After a record-breaking run at Downingtown West, Howard made waves at Kansas State and then led Ohio State to a national title in 2024. Recently drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Howard will be recognized in a private ceremony at Borough Hall. Local officials will celebrate his athletic success and lasting impact on the community, emphasizing the connection he has maintained with his Downingtown roots.
