Big, Big Talent

Lynn Bowden is one of Mark Stoops’ highest rated recruits while at Kentucky. Rated as the fourth best athlete in the class of 2017 by 247 Sports,  Bowden will make his mark early on in a Kentucky uniform.

Bowden looks as though he will get to have the ball in his hands on the offensive side of the ball for Kentucky. Ben Roberts at the Lexington Herald Leader gave his opinion of where Bowden could play while wearing Blue:

"“Though he likely will be listed as a wide receiver in college, Bowden is a true athlete who could be used as a running back, wildcat-formation quarterback and kick returner, and he even has the ability to play defensive back if needed.”"

It looks as though Eddie Gran will have another new weapon to throw in the Wildcat Formation for the next few seasons. Take a look at Bowden’s highlights and let us here at Wildcat Blue Nation know how pumped you are to have this kid.
