247Sports nationwide scouting analyst Greg Biggins supplies a more in-depth have a look at the No. 1 tight finish within the not too long ago launched preliminary Prime 100 for the 2027 cycle:
“Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei sophomore tight finish Mark Bowman had an enormous offseason, so it wasn’t too shocking to see him rewarded with a top-10 preliminary rating when the 247Sports Prime 100 launched final week. Bowman checked in because the No. 5 prospect within the nation, and it is one of many highest grades ever given to a decent finish. Bowman is a particular expertise, although, and has drawn comparisons to former Georgia tight finish and up to date Las Vegas Raiders first-round decide Brock Bowers. Whereas Bowers was a late bloomer and actually did not are available to his personal till the summer season earlier than his senior yr, Bowman has been a recognized commodity since he arrived at Mater Dei earlier than his freshman yr.
“It is actually laborious to discover a discernible weak point when taking a look at Bowman’s profile. He has an athletic 6-foot-4, 215-pound body, runs like a receiver, is a sophisticated route runner, has robust palms, persistently wins leap balls, runs effectively after the catch and is a prepared blocker. The Monarchs have a loaded receiver room, so Bowman possible will not put up tremendous gaudy numbers this season, however his upside is off the charts and there is a purpose he already holds scholarship affords from heavyweight packages everywhere in the nation together with Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and Texas.”
