Oklahoma DB Billy Bowman to Return for Senior Season

In three years with the Sooners, Bowman notched 142 tackles, 11 pass breakups, nine interceptions, seven tackles for loss and two forced fumbles. 

As a junior in 2023, the Denton Ryan (TX) alum tallied six interceptions, three of which he returned for touchdowns. One of Bowman's biggest plays of the year was a miraculous 100-yard pick six against BYU that helped OU take down the Cougars for the first time in program history.

Bowman's three pick sixes and 238 interception-return yards were the most in the nation by an FBS player in 2023. 

The star defensive back's return is a huge victory for the Sooners' defense as the team transitions into the SEC.
