He is a very balanced tight end prospect that can stretch the field, has a huge catch radius and can easily win on 5/50 balls with body control and high-point abilities in traffic. A very smooth and fluid athlete especially for his size, his commitment will be one to watch over the next 18 months and he should have a monster Junior season for the Pacers. He currently holds 23 offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/zoedwards_18/status/1934816423504957783","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/zoedwards_18/status/1934816423504957783 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1574678"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6862ceb95ddaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bowens is one of the more sought after defensive line prospects on the west coast. He has the ideal frame and length for the next level, and can play a variety of different positions, depending on scheme. He is a true technician against the run and when rushing the passer, and checks into our updated rankings as a top 6 player at his position and inside the top 25 overall. Bowens currently holds offers from Notre Dame, ASU, Oregon, Cal and Minnesota among others, and should be a 20+ offer guy by the time it's all said and done. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/troy_bowens01/status/1936478113506218437","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/troy_bowens01/status/1936478113506218437 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197251"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6862ceb95ddff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more explosive and versatile athletes across the central valley, Riley is a twitchy play-maker that can lineup in the backfield, slot or on the outside and is a true downfield burner that is electric in space. He checks into our updated rankings as a top five receiver in the state, and inside the top 45 overall as he heads into what should be a good season for a loaded Tulare Western squad in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/DemajeRiley/status/1925002421115486588","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DemajeRiley/status/1925002421115486588 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197375"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6862ceb95de4f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stephen has been having a very busy off-season to this point, and has seen some offers come in from the likes of SJSU, Sac State and Colorado State as he moves into his Junior season. He is a very heavy handed and explosive interior prospect that has the ideal length for the P4 level inside and should see plenty of other schools come his way in the coming months. Checking into our ranks as a top 20 player at his position in a loaded position class, his stock should continue to rise through his Junior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
