Legacy recruit Jaxon Howard is the first offer for the 2023 class

Stanford offered 2023 standout Jaxon Howard Thursday and he told Cardinal Sports Report that he felt "electric" to get an offer from his father's alma mater.

Willie Howard was an All-American defensive lineman for Stanford and considered by many to be one of the best defenders to play on The Farm. His son is a defensive end and tight end who Stanford is recruiting as an "athlete".

Howard already reports more than 40 offers and he explained to Cardinal Sports Report in July why Stanford is a special place for him and his family.

"Growing up, the only college that I really had an opportunity to see was Stanford and that is because my dad coaches Friday nights," Jaxon said in a recent message to Cardinal Sports Report. "So my dad in the past has made sure that we tried to get to homecoming games as well as visit over the summer.

"My dad has a Stanford tattoo and has talked about how Stanford shaped him into the man he is today. He talked about the leadership of Coach (Tyrone) Willingham and Coach Dave Tipton, as well as his experience building relationships with the entire Stanford community. He did say that classes challenged him to give more and stretch his thinking, while also talking about the amazing support that was set up for all students."
