Drae Bowles

  • Hey guys, I know everyone is still in recruiting mode and wants updates about possible recruits/commits...However I just finished reading the article on Ryan Jenkins and how Bowles was his host this past weekend...And it got me wondering...

    Where does Bowles stand right now with the program? I know he was highly touted coming out of high school last year and that he redshirted this past season and reasonably so with Hunter, Patterson, and Z.Rogers all upperclassmen ahead of him on the depth chart... But Id like to know where he stands? Is he more of an outside guy (If I remember correctly, he had good size to be an outside guy) but maybe in this new offense, he is better as a slot guy...Can we expect alot from him with the way our depth chart looks?

    Thoughts anyone?

  • I'd think he'd get every opportunity to start outside, we don't have anybody else with experience there.... I think his problem is running routes, he played in an offense in HS where they never threw the ball. He's obviously got the physical tools, and Azzanni said his WR's have to be able to block or they won't play. Having played LB in HS I'm sure he will be good in that aspect...

    If we sign either North or Gibson, I wouldn't mind giving him a shot to play OLB (Even though that's highly unlikely)

    I agree with the first paragraph, but I would think if they had any plans for him to play OLB he'd have to start beefing up now.
