Peyton Bowen is described as a “generational player” by Denton Guyer coach Reed Heim. “As far as ability wise, football skills, he’s the type of player that can be in any phase of the game,” Heim told On3. “Whether it’s special teams, defense and even offense, when he has the opportunities to do that. He could play slot receiver, or outside receiver. He could play running back and, if he needed, he could play at Wildcat. He could do that. He could play safety. He could play cornerback and anywhere on a defense. And then he can punt return and he can kick return. He’s truly a Jack of all trades.” Heim sees big things in Bowen’s future. “With Peyton, he truly does have every single skill,” his coach said. “He will be fine in the future. It would shock me if he didn’t have a really good career in college and then have an opportunity to play in the NFL. It would be very surprising to me if we’re not seeing him on Sundays at some point.”

Peyton Bowen's size, length, athleticism and playmaking ability both in coverage and with the ball in his hands remind us of former five-star Daxton Hill.
