  Forces Merit Award presented by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). The award is given to one individual or group annually from across the nation who shows service or stewardship in the realm of football. Steve Richardson, executive director of FWAA stated, "Dr. Howard has had a remarkable career across the board. He embodies what this award is all about.
