Playing linebacker and fullback for the Raiders this season, Owen is one of those old-school players that you used to commonly see in the days of the 1980s and 90’s I-formation football. It’s refreshing to see, and he’s the other returning All-Conference player for the Raiders. Owen speaks quietly and confidently, and you can see he likes leading by example for his defense.

With 96 tackles and 10 tackles for loss last season, Owen helped lead South Rowan to their first playoff berth since 1984 last season, an amazing feat for that program! Owen was an All-County selection for his work, and should be an integral part of his defense again this season. Owen does a good job plugging holes from his middle linebacker position in general. Owen also shows good speed within the hashes to run down ball carriers and tackle well in space. Owen also shows agility in space to cover the middle of the field in the passing game. There are a couple of clips where Owen is a strong fullback and clearing holes from the formation. Good player who should be a team leader this upcoming season.
