Limited film, but I do like what I see out of Owen this season. It’s very clear he does his job, is consistent, and has some natural skill at the position. First thing I noted was his ability to sell a block before busting down the sideline for a huge play up top. Big Rapids also likes to get him in space with some screens, and he can deal quite a bit of damage. Big Rapids is one of the best teams in their division, and if Owen can unlock a big performance, this team will be district champions, and a whole lot more!

I can’t find Owen’s 2024 tape anywhere, but he’s still left an impression from the West Michigan Drive tryout nearly two months ago. Here’s a quick recap of my impressions, and where I think he could be recruited.

Quick shoutout to Owen who (likely) punched his ticket to the WM drive team from his 7v7 performance.

Early in the tryout, I liked what I saw from Owen. Average size, good athleticism, and solid route running.

Late in the tryout, Owen consistently took the top off of the defense and made several plays downfield. He’s also a solid defender. I didn’t watch Owen as much as I would’ve liked, but he’s 100% earned a ranking and further evaluations.
