One of the top signees for the Oklahoma Sooners No. 11 ranked recruiting class was four-star athlete Billy Bowman. Lincoln Riley and company were able to flip him from their long-standing rivals, the Texas Longhorns. Bowman was one of the key players for the Denton-Ryan Raiders this past season as they marched towards the Texas 5A state championship.
Bowman was like a swiss army knife for the Raiders team. He played slot wide receiver, defensive back, and return specialist. It is a bit unclear ahead of spring football just how Riley will use the athlete. He could play offense as another option at receiver. Alex Grinch could also use him on the defensive side of the ball. That likely won’t be figured out until they get on the field for spring football.
Check out the highlight reel from Bowman’s senior season:
