Expert Analysis
Carl Frederick | Prep Redzone Scout
We had just missed Dowling in our last rankings update, but will be included in our next 2027 class coming out at the end of the month. He is beast up front and had 5 sacks last season at 6’2 and 290 lbs.. Dowling too tore it up at our Winter showcase and was one of the best linemen on site, he moves very well. Youngstown State was his first offer last week and they will not be the last, the young has a 3.4 GPA, his offers should reach close to 10 before week 1.

was one of the top defensive linemen at the showcase. He earned a top 5 performance at the showcase. He also earned 1st team performance. His ability to fire off the ball is excellent. I love his first step as he explodes off the ball. Then he is a good athlete who moves well. He also shows good strength. Dowling is a talented prospect who did well in the showcase.
I Had a great time at the @PrepRedzoneVA camp last night Blessed🙏 to be named a Top Performer on the D-Line. Grateful for the opportunity and coaching time to get back to work 💪 #Loading #PrepRedzone@LoudounSportsAC @footballcoach79 @tdhald @carljfred @DarkVisors @CoachEroy25… pic.twitter.com/7i6tgFOlzB

had a great showcase and earned a top 5 ranking at the position. His ability to get off the ball quickly and attack offensive linemen is impressive. He also moves well. During individual drills, he did a nice job of moving and getting through drills with quickness and burst. Then, during the one-on-one competition, he excelled. Dowling showed during the showcase that he has good skills.
