Contents
Early years
Howitzer was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, just a short drive away from the campus at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Howitzer played high school for East Chapel Hill High School where he set numerous state high school records in North Carolina for career passing yards, touchdowns, and wins. In his senior season, Howitzer was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for North Carolina.
College career
As a true freshman enrolling at UNC, Howitzer competed for the starting quarterback position but backed up for incumbent quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Howitzer appeared in 4 games, mostly appearing late in blowout wins in the fourth quarter of games.
Starting in his sophomore year, with Trubisky having been selected 2nd overall in the NFL Draft, Howitzer claimed the starting quarterback job at UNC. Howitzer played well, leading UNC to a 9-4 record including a win in the Military Bowl. Howitzer finished 3rd in the ACC Player of the Year award voting.
Howitzer entered his junior season at UNC with great anticipation from the media and nation, having been named to numerous preseason watch lists for awards such as the Heisman award and the Davey O'Brien award given to the best quarterback in collegiate football. However, in the first game of the season against South Carolina, Howitzer suffered a knee injury, tearing both his ACL and MCL. Howitzer's season ended immediately with little fanfare and Howitzer soon announced his intentions to compete in the National Simulation Football League.
College career statistics
Howitzer left college with a career total of 5,121 passing yards, 47 passing TDs, and 15 interceptions.

2037 season: DSFL waivers
Sam Howitzer was picked up on waivers by the Portland Pythons for the remainder of the 2036 DSFL season following the trade deadline. Howitzer played as the backup quarterback to incumbent Pythons quarterback George O'Donnell. When Howitzer first joined the team, he immediately served as some fresh competition to battle with O'Donnell for snaps in games on a week to week basis. However, following the first few midweek practices, it became evident that Howitzer would serve as the primary backup, deferring to O'Donnell during DSFL games and serving as injury insurance.
The Pythons held a 5-7 record in the NFC North division of the DSFL when Howitzer joined the team. The team was out of a playoff spot and certainly needed a boost in the last two games of the season in order to reach .500 even on the season and have a chance at competing in the playoffs. However, under the quarterbacking of George O'Donnell, the Pythons ultimately dropped their last two games of the season, to the Norfolk Seawolves and the eventual DSFL champion Tijuana Luchadores respectively. Howitzer studied O'Donnell's quarterback play intensely on the sidelines, and even though the coaching staff of the Pythons never pulled O'Donnell out of their games, preferring to ride out the storm and give their veteran quarterback a long leash to figure things out, Howitzer stayed ready on the sidelines to come into each of the final two games on short notice. Nevertheless, the Pythons finished the season at 5-9 and Howitzer now entered the DSFL draft for the following season.
