Early years

Bowser attended John Tyler High School in Tyler, Texas, where he played for the Lions football team.[1] As a senior, he had 59 tackles and 24 sacks. He committed to the University of Houston to play college football.[2]

College career

Bowser played college football at Houston from 2013 to 2016.[3]

Bowser made his collegiate debut on August 30 against Southern and recorded two tackles.[4] On September 21, he recorded his first two collegiate sacks and had his first interception in a win over Rice.[5] As a freshman in 2013, he had 26 total tackles, 5.0 sacks, one interception, two passes defensed, and one forced fumble.[6] As a sophomore in 2014, he had 13 total tackles and three sacks.[7] As a junior in 2015, he had 51 total tackles, six sacks, one interception, two passes defensed, two fumble recoveries, and one forced fumble.[8]

Bowser missed five games his senior season due to a fractured orbital bone that he suffered during an fight with a teammate.[9][10] Despite the injury, he led the team with eight sacks.[11][12] Bowser finished his collegiate career with 137 tackles and 22.5 sacks.[13][14]

Bowser also played in four games over two seasons for the Houston Cougars basketball team.[15]

Professional career

Bowser received an invitation to Senior Bowl and made four solo tackles as a part of the South team. He raised his draft stock with his Senior Bowl performance and helped the South defeat the North 16–15.[16] He attended the NFL Combine and completed the majority of drills, but opted to skip the short shuttle and three-cone drill. Bowser also participated at Houston's Pro Day and chose to only run the short shuttle and positional drills. NFL draft experts and analysts projected Bowser to be a first or second round pick.[17] He was ranked the fifth best outside linebacker available in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com, the sixth best linebacker by ESPN, and was ranked the twelfth best edge rusher by Sports Illustrated.[18][19]
