Bowens shot up our rankings in this update, and is a no brainer FBS caliber player at the next level with elite upside and growth potential due to his frame, range and natural length. He has explosive hips and hands when rushing the passer from the edge and shows he can win with a variety of different moves and counter moves. Bowens is a long strider that can track down ball carriers behind the line and shows tremendous lateral movement and sudden twitch in short areas. He is still developing but will only continue to grow into his frame and as a no-brainer high-level prospect in college. In our 2025 rankings update he checks in as a number two defensive lineman in his class and inside the top ten overall in the state.

Bowens is a big-time player as he is able to really impact what Highland does on defense. Excellent at setting the edge and then making plays in the backfield, he has a knack for making read option difficult on the quarterback. He is able to convert speed to power on his rush and get sacks at some of the biggest times during a game.
