USC head coach Lincoln Riley during the 2024 season.
Gary A Vasquez-Imagn Images "Bowman has been drawing Brock Bowers comparisons since his freshman year, and there is a lot of validity to it.," Biggins wrote.
"Like Bowers, Bowman is a plus athlete who plays more like a jumbo receiver than a tight end.
He's a high level athlete who runs clean routes and gets a ton of separation."Biggins adds that Bowman brings another rare skillset for a prospect of his talent.
"We've seen him in multiple settings and have always been impressed with quick twitch and change of direction ability.
He can dominate in 50-50 and jump-ball situations and has high-level body control and hand-eye coordination," Biggins wrote.
He adds that Bowman brings a strong catch radius and ball-tracking ability.
The Monarchs star even reclassified to the 2026 class after originally representing the 2027 recruiting cycle.
Bowman adds to a long list of blue chip recruits for the nation's top-ranked recruiting class.
Except he's now the first TE verbal commit for head coach Lincoln Riley and company.
