Peyton Bowen, Safety/Cheetah
After being one of the biggest Oklahoma recruiting wins in recent memory, Peyton Bown has delivered.
He picked off a pass in the OU spring game, and the hype picked up steam all summer.
In Saturday’s 28-11 win against SMU, he made two massive plays: blocking a punt and a critical fourth-down pass breakup.
This week, he may be thrust into a more extended role at Cheetah with Justin Harrington dealing with a dinged-up knee and Dasan McCullough working his way back from a week one injury.
Oklahoma could use the game to let Bowen play more, allowing the five-star safety the opportunity to get more experience while also giving Harrington time to rest.
Either way, it’ll be interesting to see Bowen continue to get comfortable in his role. He’s a budding star.
The more reps he gets, the better he will get.
