. Bowman has great size that makes him a mismatch for high school linebackers and safeties, alike. Additionally, the way he moves – fast and fluidly – causes him to be a bonafide threat in the passing game. Bowman can high point the ball, use his hands, and use his frame to come up with contested grabs. Perhaps his best trait, however, might be his ability to create and run with the ball in his possession. Bowman is committed to Delaware.

Having featured Bowman in a piece about Cherry Hill East in the past he is a name that I am familiar with, yet his film is impressive none the less. Due to his unique combination of speed and size, Bowman is a clear mismatch for both safeties and linebacker. The rising senior can high point the ball and use his height to his advantage, making contested grabs while out-positioning the opposition in the process. When used as a puller in the run game, with a running head start Bowman looks to demolish his assignment; whereas when in-line blocking, he has a good get off and works to refit his hands.

Although he is listed as a tight end and defensive end, Jaxon Bowman appears to be much more than that for Cherry Hill East. Doing a little bit of everything last fall, Bowman rushed 12 times for 89 yards, accounted for 284 receiving yards and 7 scores on 21 catches, and was credited with 41 tackles (28 solo), 8 TFL, 3 sacks, and 1 scoop & score on defense. Listed at 6’5″, Bowman is a mismatch for most high school linebackers because of his size, but also because of how fast and fluidly he moves – so much so that the Cougars even opt to split him out wide against 1-on-1 coverage. In such situations we see Bowman make contested grabs, using his height to his advantage, and boxing out smaller opponents as he high points the ball and receives it with his hands. When route running we see Bowman using the headfake somewhat frequently in hopes to turn defenders around. Because he is too physical a runner with the ball in his hands, we see Bowman line up as an in-line tight end, a y-out, wing, and even in the backfield. With offers at-hand already, I want to see Bowman live with his linemen this summer, with the goal of improving his blocking. Gifted physically as he is, improving upon his technique will prepare him to be a blue chip, college-ready prospect wherever he may end up.
