Listed at 6-foot-2, 200 kilos, Bowman performed three seasons at Stanford — he redshirted his freshman yr in 2019 — and recorded seven receptions for 43 yards in 2022.
Bowman has two years of eligibility remaining, throughout which the Aggies and broad receivers coach Kyle Cefalo will hope to develop him to his full potential.
Popping out of St. John Bosco, Bowman was projected to be a “upper-tier Energy 5 starter and late-round NFL draft decide,” per 247 Sports activities’ nationwide recruiting analyst Greg Biggins.
“Massive receiver with game-breaking velocity,” Biggins wrote in 2018. “Loads of room so as to add dimension and energy. Will have to be higher towards press protection and bodily corners in school. Monitor man who runs extraordinarily properly and it interprets to the soccer subject. Can stretch the sphere, is a real deep menace and in addition runs extraordinarily properly after the catch.
“A pure go catcher with gentle palms who doesn’t combat the soccer. Isn’t afraid to go over the center. Catches the ball properly by contact. Makes use of his physique properly to field out smaller corners and is a really stable and keen blocker. Clean route runner, excessive IQ participant and understands easy methods to get open.”
Bowman didn’t reside as much as that potential with the Cardinal, however Cefalo has confirmed adept at creating receivers, each at Arkansas State and now at Utah State, with Deven Thompkins, Derek Wright and Brian Cobbs all having standout seasons underneath Cefalo’s tutelage.
The Aggies wanted reinforcements at broad receiver after Cobbs and Justin McGriff exhausted their remaining eligibility (Cobbs declared for the NFL draft as properly).
Utah State introduced in some assist previous to gaining a dedication from Bowman from the JUCO and prep ranks with Micah Davis (a former Air Power wideout earlier than heading to junior school), Kahanu Davis (Southwestern Faculty) and Ridgeline Excessive’s Jackson Olsen — however the former Stanford wideout is little doubt a welcome addition.
