With just a few weeks until the start of the regular season, the Oklahoma Sooners are looking to continue their final offseason push in the [autotag]2024 recruiting class[/autotag]. While recruiting doesn’t stop, these are the last few weeks where they won’t have game weeks prioritizing their attention.
Several key decisions will be made this month and the Sooners continue to keep momentum for 2024 cornerback Eli Bowen.
Bowen, a four-star cornerback according to Rivals and ESPN plays his high school ball at Denton Guyer. He’s a great athlete that plays bigger than his 5-foot-9, 165 pound frame might suggest.
He’s sticky in coverage and plays with great technique in man-to-man assignments. When pushed deep, he stays in phase with the wide receiver and looks back to find the ball in the air.
Bowen’s a playmaker in every sense of the word, regularly pulling the ball down in tip-drill situations, showing an adept ability to take the football away with a strip, and displays great punt return ability.
The Sooners are looking to continue to add to their secondary through the 2024 class. They only have Jeremiah Newcombe and Jaydan Hardy committed at this point, but were included in the top five for four-star cornerback Devon Jordan.
In addition to the Sooners, Bowen holds offers from a number of Power Five schools, with Texas being their biggest contender for the Guyer prospect’s commitment.
