Eli Bowen has waited a long time to return to the field for the Sooners.  The sophomore cornerback missed all of fall camp and the first four games of the 2025 season after suffering a foot and ankle injury during spring practice. But this past Saturday, he returned and made his first start of the season, playing 23 snaps against Kent State.
