Donald Bowens,a 6-foot-3,195 pounds receiver, a former St. Petersburg High School and recent N.C. State graduate is looking at USF to play his final season of eligibility in the NCAA. Bowens missed the 2008 season and the early part of the 2009 season with back and leg injuries. In 2007 he lead the Wolfpack with over 500 yards receiving and 7 touchdowns, including a 200 yard performance in one game.
Bowens would add a new dimension to the USF receiving core and pick up the yardage where AJ Love and Carlton Mitchell would usually do. He is prone to injuries which raises a red flag for Coach Holtz and the coaching staff, but he has shown he has down field and big play ability. He could fill in nicely for AJ Love who is down with an ACL tear from the spring game and could big a huge playmaker in the slot receiver position, giving BJ Daniels another weapon at this position, along with Lindsey Lamar, having two speedy inside players would cause headaches for all defensive coordinators in the Big East.
Bowens is also looking at North Alabama because of Coach Terry Bowden. It is unsure when or if Bowens will transfer to USF but the prospects of him signing and coming to Tampa appear fairly high and he could a great asset to Holtz and Daniels as they begin a new offense that focuses more on down field passing and quick routes, a system in which Bowens would thrive and create a spark in a somewhat depleted receiving core.
