Every Friday during the football season, we take a look back at some players who are performing well in either college football or the NFL despite the fact that they were unrated as high school prospects. Here’s our rundown from this past weekend, featuring three defensive players that came up big in their teams victories.
MORE CHECKUPS: Five-Stars | Four-stars | Three-stars | Two-stars
As a recruit: Bowman moved from Bellevue, Wash. to attend IMG Academy in Florida for his senior season in hopes of jumpstarting his recruitment, but even the exposure there didn’t really help his cause. He received an offer from FCS program Montana, but elected to go back home to Washington and walk on with Huskies, where his older brother Shane is also on the team.
What he did this week: After redshirting in 2016, Bowman has quickly worked his way into the lineup for one of the nation’s highest-ranked teams. In Saturday’s victory over Washington, Bowman had four tackles, including 1.5 sacks and has made himself a regular contributor for the Huskies defense this year. Chris Petersen and his staff did a great job of finding diamonds in the rough at Boise State and appear to still be able to surprise with players like Bowman.
