McGowan showed off his superb arm strength and consistent accuracy throughout the tournament. He throws the ball with great anticipation, hitting receivers immediately out of their breaks and in stride. His decision making is quick and decisive; he trusts his eyes and rarely gets caught up patting the football for a sack. Defenders in the secondary struggled to read him, as he understood how to manipulate their drops with his eyes to open throwing windows for his receivers. What stood out most is how well McGowan plays under pressure, always calm and made clutch throws when his team needed them. McGowan currently holds offers from ETSU and North Alabama.

What a fun watch here. I can say, with respect to others, that McGowan was my favorite player to watch this weekend. Not only were the traits impressive, but he was energetic as well.

He put plenty of heat on the ball, added some finesse, and consistently put the ball right on his receivers, even if the windows were tight or he needed to rifle the ball through the defense. McGowan was a dispenser, and he did it with both drive and touch. The ball certainly came off his hand like a D1 QB prospect.
