The Cowboys' man under center is getting some preseason motivation.
On Thursday, the watch list for the Davey O’Brien Award was announced and featured 36 quarterbacks. While eight Big 12 quarterbacks made the list, OSU’s Alan Bowman did not.
Although Ollie Gordon headlines any storyline about the Cowboys’ offense, Bowman is the Big 12’s leader in passing yards among returning quarterbacks and finished third in the conference to Dillon Gabriel and Quinn Ewers last season. Despite the Cowboys running a three-quarterback system with Garret Rangel and Gunnar Gundy to begin 2023, Bowman prevailed to not only win the starting job but have one of the most impressive seasons. Bowman ranked 16th in passing yards last season with 3,460. Assuming he would have had the same average production, Bowman could have had 4,104 yards if he was also the full-time quarterback for the first three games, which would have ranked third in the country.
Bowman’s ability to find success is also a result of the impressive play of his supporting cast. Gordon can set up big passing plays with his rushing ability, but a couple of players on the Biletnikoff Award watch list will play a significant role in the quarterback’s success. Brennan Presley and Rashod Owens were the Cowboys’ top two receivers last season, and Bowman built chemistry with them throughout the year. Considering their overall experience and season playing together, Bowman could be among the top quarterbacks in college football next season.Ivan is a sports media student at Oklahoma State University.
