WATCH: Notre Dame 4-star LB commit Drayk Bowen trucks defender on touchdown run
Merrillville (Ind.) Andrean four-star linebacker Drayk Bowen is a top-100 defensive prospect in the 2023 class. However, the Notre Dame commit can play offense too.
Bowen shared a video Saturday night of him scoring a rushing touchdown. He punctuated the score by trucking a defender before crossing the goal line.
The 6-foot-1.5, 215 pound prospect is the No. 84 overall prospect and No. 6 linebacker in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in Indiana.
Bowen committed to the Fighting Irish on Nov. 3, 2021. He is currently the fourth-highest-ranked prospect in Notre Dame’s 2023 recruiting class.
The Indiana native has an On3 NIL Valuation of $145K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Drayk Bowen On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Drayk Bowen:
“Two-sport superstar for Indiana football and baseball state champion Andrean who’s violent in the box as a linebacker and as a running back. Totaled 105 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 3 sacks and 3 interceptions on defense. Carried the ball 155 times for 965 yards and 18 touchdowns on offense during his junior campaign. Downhill thumper that beats ball carriers to the spot. Excellent instincts and ability to trigger. Effective blitzer and spy player.
“Has some hip stiffness to him. Overall athleticism shines on tape but unverified long speed is the biggest question mark. Heady player who will anchor a defense at the next level. Top speed development will determine NFL potential. Middle infielder who is committed to play baseball at the next level along with football. One of the older players in the 2023 recruiting cycle.”
