According to Kyle Kelly of On3, Grant Bowen, a 6-foot, 4-inch and 220-pound athlete from IC Catholic Prep in Elmhurst, Ill., who has set his visit date to South Bend on March 27. Bowen has not yet been ranked by the 247 Sports Composite, which is not a surprise with him being a 2028 prospect.
As the son of a former Iowa All-American defensive back and NFL veteran Matt Bowen, he already carries offers from some of the top names in college football such as Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Tennessee, Illinois, and Texas A&M.
In his sophomore season, Bowen played had 34-receptions and recorded 731-yards showing he is ready to be a go-to target. It should be mentioned as well that he carries a reported 4.6 GPA, which is right in the wheelhouse of the type academic profile that Notre Dame likes to pursue.
On the field, Bowen brings an ideal tight end frame and combines it with wide receiver skills. He is capable of lining up all over the formation as a tight end/wide receiver hybrid or even as an outside linebacker. Evaluators note his advanced route running and knack for finding soft spots in zone coverage. He is also regarded as a physical blocker on the perimeter, with length and speed which can translate to the defensive side.
