It's pretty crazy this dropped him from a pretty much guaranteed 1st round pick to a 5th rounder.

Between the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Howell lost Javonte Williams, Dyami Brown, Dazz Newsome, and Michael Carter to the draft alone. That doesn't even include any O-lineman that started in 2020 that just didn't get drafted, but were still starters. Any QB that loses 4 NFL draft picks from their offense, is very likely going to have a dip in their stats. Especially when its not from a powerhouse that just replaces guys every year, like Bama, GA, OSU, etc.
By way of comparison...

Drake Maye 2022 at UNC

66.2% completion rate
4321 passing yards
38 passing touchdowns
7 interceptions
698 rushing yards
7 rushing touchdowns
5019 total yards
45 total touchdowns

Howells numbers don't look so great now.
