Josh Bowling Josh Bowling 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Simon Kenton | 2023 State KY has been a player that has consistently stayed on my radar over the past few seasons and continued to impress during his senior year. Bowling had an outstanding final season of high school football, finishing with 88 tackles, four tackles for loss, five sacks, once forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. He returned one of those fumble recoveries for a touchdown. Bowling does a great job of reading his keys and reacting quickly to put himself in a position to make a play. He flows to the ball very well, taking good angles to the football and showing that he is a reliable open field tackler. Bowling also has shown some ability in pass coverage, coming away with an interception this season. Josh currently holds offers from Morehead State, Lindsey Wilson, Georgetown College, Wittenberg, Trinity International, Union College, Lawrence Tech, and Thomas More, and I can see him developing into a very productive linebacker at the next level.
