Expert Analysis
Tyler Graham | Prep Redzone Scout
Owen had a couple of drives where he kind of took over. He was a nice safety valve when his QB was under pressure and did a great job of maximizing his touches.
- Good route running allowed him to find open space in the zone, and never stopped moving to keep himself available
- Was very good in the open space, showed a great ability to turn up field and break some tackles
- Able to finish catches through contact, showed off some great hands in tough situations
- Will be a very good receiver at the next level assuming he takes his D3 opportunity

I’ve mentioned Owen a few times already. Based on my evaluations, Owen is the #38 receiver and #238 in the overall rankings. The tape shows a lot of promise, but there is a lot to work on. For one, his release and hands are good. Especially when running deep routes, Owen can scream down the field and secure a semi-difficult catch. However, I’d love to see better athleticism, first and foremost. After the catch, Owen is able to earn a few extra yards, but he could be lethal with better contact balance and open-field athleticism. I’d also love to see Owen run the route tree with more detail. I really like the foundation, love the size, and think Owen can be a greatly improved player this season.
