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.
