Gowan was a first-team all-state pick at Newton High School. He began his collegiate career at Miami (Ohio), redshirting in 2016 and appearing in three games in 2017 (one tackle). He transferred to Butler Community College, where he intercepted six passes and broke up four others in 2018. He then moved on to UCF, where he started nine of 12 games played in 2019, recording 31 tackles (one for loss), two interceptions and eight pass breakups. He opted out of the 2020 season, revealing that he had tested positive for COVID-19 in the past. -- by Chad Reuter

Overview
Outside cornerback who will struggle to stay connected to routes against speed or quality route runners. He does a nice job of crowding underneath routes and has the length and ball instincts to make receivers really work for it on contested catches. Gowan needs to get stronger, but has good size and length to work with. His area of effectiveness will be limited at the next level. He might need to be paired with defenses utilizing more Cover 2 or Cover 3 schemes.

- Slow to gather and redirect his weight downhill in coverage.
- Below-average closing burst on the throw.
- Speed-deficient when chasing vertical rabbits.

Gowan is a tall and lean corner with good top-end speed and adequate length. His technique is inconsistent and he needs to get stronger, but he has good upside as a press corner. He flashes above-average ball skills. -- Steve Muench

They more or less followed the right gameplan in the back half of the draft as far as I wanted to do it. Seems fine to me, at least we have bodies on the roster at CB for 2022. Potential for the future.
I like the value.
His EDP was 140 with a high of 116. So in the 200s its great value.
His best traight for me is effort. Really strong effort guy. There's a clip of him chasing down an INT about 50 yards from the opposite side of the field.
He's a project but great value for late 6th.

Interesting... the player most closely related to him is another former 6th round pick by Keim in Christian Campbell.
LOL at Christian Campbell being his biggest comp.
That's not bad actually. Similar experience and obviously athleticism.

I like the idea of adding another cornerback to the mix.
Keim is using PFF for his big board again...

He has not had a lot of reps.

If the rookies play just one snap it will be an improvement!
