DECEMBER 17, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Declares for NFL Draft Bowman has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced via his personal X account.
Impact Bowman spent the past two years at Oklahoma State after spending two seasons as a backup for Michigan. He won the starting job for the Cowboys immediately and tossed for 5,880 yards, 31 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. However, he was benched towards the end of the 2024 campaign amidst what was a rough season for Oklahoma State as the team finished 3-9 and without a victory in conference play. Out of eligibility, he'll look towards the NFL.

Ends tough year with Cowboys Bowman completed 1 of 5 passes for seven yards during Friday's 52-0 loss versus Colorado.
Impact Bowman received some snaps due to starter Maealiuaki Smith committing three turnovers and being ineffective against the Colorado defense. Both Oklahoma State and Bowman had a down year as the journeyman quarterback completed just 59.9 percent of his passes for 2,420 yards and 16 touchdowns compared to 12 interceptions. Oklahoma State will look for a new starting quarterback for the 2025 season.

Unlikely to start Bowman will likely head to the bench Saturday against Texas Tech, The Oklahoman reports.
Impact It's been a tough stretch of late for Bowman, who's completed 57.2 percent of his passes with eight touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his last seven games. The Cowboys appear ready to make a change under center, turning to freshman Maealiuaki Smith to try and snap a seven-game losing streak.

Figures to remain starter Bowman is expected to remain Oklahoma State's starting quarterback in Week 13, Marcus Trevino of the Stillwater News Press reports.
Impact Bowman has now been benched in back to back games, but comments from head coach Mike Gundy indicate that he's not in the business of playing a younger player just for the heck of it. Despite a dismal 3-7 season, including an 0-7 record in conference play, Gundy appears to be sticking with his starting signal caller to close the season. This is Bowman's last season of eligibility, so that may factor into the decision to keep him as the starter as well.

Benched in second straight game Bowman completed 19 of 29 passes for 141 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 38-13 defeat versus TCU.
Impact Bowman threw an interception in his ninth straight game and was also benched for the second week in a row. Maealiuaki Smith also struggled while completing 6-of-8 passes for 92 yards with an interception. With Oklahoma State's season lost, it's possible they look at a different starter when the team returns to play Texas Tech in Week 13.

Warming up with starting center Bowman is warming up with the starting center ahead of Saturday's game versus TCU, Marshall Scott of Pistols Firing reports.
Impact Bowman was replaced during the fourth quarter last week by Maealiuaki Smith, but it appears the veteran signal-caller will likely get another look under center for the Cowboys. That said, his job seems far from secure, and a poor start to Saurday's game could lead to another change under center.

Replaced in fourth quarter Bowman completed 17 of 30 passes for 175 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 42-21 defeat against Arizona State.
Impact Bowman struggled to get anything going against the Sun Devils and was replaced by freshman Maealiuaki Smith in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys have lost six straight games, and Bowman has nine interceptions over that streak. Oklahoma State will play at TCU next week.

Throws pick in seventh straight Bowman was 28-for-42 passing for 359 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 38-28 defeat to Baylor.
Impact Bowman threw an interception in his seventh straight game. The experienced starter has had a rough time with turnovers this season and it's also worth noting that he's accounted for a single touchdown pass in four straight games. Bowman has 14 touchdowns compared to 10 interceptions. The depth chart is thin at quarterback, so it's likely Bowman remains the starter when Oklahoma State hosts Arizona State next week.

Expected to be starting QB Bowman is expected to be the Cowboys' starting quarterback for their game Saturday at Baylor, McClain Baxley of 247Sports reports.
Impact Currently, the Cowboys' depth chart includes Bowman as their primary quarterback. Garret Rangel (collarbone) is out indefinitely, so they seemingly have no choice but resorting back to using Bowman. He replaced Rangel in Week 8 and logged 11 completions for 85 yards and a 1:1 TD:INT ratio.

Impact Bowman entered the game after starter Garret Rangel left with a collarbone injury. With Rangel not returning to the matchup, it's likely Bowman will be called upon once again in upcoming weeks. It's been a tough year for the senior signal-caller who has 13 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He's thrown at least one interception in each of his last six games. Oklahoma State will play at Baylor next week.

Unlikely to be starting QB at BYU Bowman is unlikely to be the Cowboys' starting quarterback for their game Friday at BYU, Ashton Slaughter of The O'Colly reports.
Impact Instead of Bowman, Garret Rangel is likely to be the Cowboys' starting quarterback Friday. Bowman struggled throughout the second half of September, culminating with his benching in an embarrassing home loss to West Virginia at the beginning of October. The three-game span saw Bowman barely complete more than 50 percent of his 102 pass attempts, log negative rushing yardage and record a 4:6 TD:INT ratio.

Benched in home loss to WVU Bowman was 10-for-19 passing for 116 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-14 loss against West Virginia.
Impact Bowman threw a pair of picks in his third straight game which resulted in him being benched for Garret Rangel. Rangel completed four of five passes for 75 yards and a touchdown. With Oklahoma State on a bye this next week, they'll have to make a tough decision on whether it's Bowman or Rangel who will make the next start against a tough BYU defense.

Continues to battle turnovers Bowman completed 26 of 50 passes for 364 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 42-20 loss against Kansas State.
Impact Bowman has thrown at least one interception in four straight games and has a pair of picks in each of his past two. With those critical turnovers, it's not a surprise that Oklahoma State has lost each of their last two games. Bowman was able to add his 11th touchdown pass on the year with a 77-yard flea-flicker pass to De'Zhaun Stribling. The Cowboys will try to get their season back on track against West Virginia next week.

Benched in loss to Utah Bowman completed 16 of 33 passes for 206 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 22-19 loss to Utah.
Impact Bowman had a rough first half while completing just 8 of 22 passes for 89 yards. It led to him getting momentarily benched for Garret Rangel who was not much better with just 31 yards on 3 of 11 passing. Bowman came back and salvaged the day with a pair of touchdowns, but overall, he was stifled by the Utes' defense in the loss at home. With Rangel struggling as well, it's likely that Bowman will be under center at Kansas State next week.
