Season Highlights - Sophomore Forward Rodney Howard

After transferring to Georgia Tech following a freshman season at Georgia, Rodney Howard started Tech’s first two games in the post in 2020-21, with highs of six points and four rebounds against Mercer, but played limited minutes thereafter as Tech went to a small lineup. Howard wound up playing in 12 ACC games (DNP vs. Virginia on Feb. 10, Syracuse) for 66 total minutes as he has worked his way into more playing time. He played 11 of the last 13 games of the season. The native of Ypsilanti, Mich., scored a season-high eight points (4-7 FG) in season-high 16:35 at Miami and six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 FT) with five rebounds at Wake Forest. Howard played 18 key minutes off the bench in the ACC quarterfinal against Miami when Moses Wright incurred foul trouble. He played 10:01 vs. Delaware State (7 pts, 3-3 FG), 7:32 against North Carolina to help counter the Tar Heels’ army of big men, and 4:37 in the second meeting vs. FSU.
