10 Nov
Summary
- Freshman Mark Bowman is ranked 24th nationally among college football freshmen.
- He made a sensational 70-yard touchdown catch against Ohio State.
- Bowman's reliable hands make him a key target for USC's offense.
USC's freshman class is significantly impacting the team's performance, bolstering their College Football Playoff hopes.
Among the nation's top emerging talents, USC tight end Mark Bowman has earned a spot at No. 24 on ESPN's ranking of the top 40 freshmen. Bowman reclassified to join the Trojans and has rapidly become a starting tight end.
Despite an injury that caused him to miss three games, Bowman has demonstrated significant potential. His performance against Louisiana included six catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Upon returning against Ohio State, he recorded three catches for 79 yards, highlighted by an incredible 70-yard touchdown reception where he hurdled a defender and broke tackles.
Bowman's consistent reliability has established him as a valuable high-volume target in USC's passing game when healthy. The team was off last week and is preparing for a critical road game against Indiana.
