Bowlding is a physical, downhill linebacker who plays fast and finishes with force. From the middle, he shows excellent blitz timing, shooting the A-gap and driving ball carriers backwards for losses. Bowlding takes on blocks without hesitation, sheds cleanly, and stays disciplined in his reads. In pursuit, he closes ground quickly and stops the ball carrier in his tracks with his physical tackling style. Bowlding also shows value as a blitzer off the edge, bending under tackles and affecting the quarterback. What he needs to work on is continued development in pass coverage.
