Big Walnut is getting more experienced each season and it’s thanks to program staples like Bowers who stay busy year round for Big Walnut as he stands out on both the gridiron and hardwood. Bowers is another prospect who stood out at the Ohio State team camp to earn a spot in our rankings. Physically, Bowers is incredibly advanced with the ability to bully defenders in the paint. Nimble on his feet, you see how Bowers would be tough to stop as a tight end just by watching him run up and down the basketball court. I always like watching multi-sport athletes compete and think it’s beneficial in the long run no matter what sport they decide to prioritize in college.

Another group loaded with 2027 talent, Big Walnut has a few multi-sport athletes that shine in the fall and winter as Bowers, Brody Hatfield and Eli Stumpf all play multiple sports together as a dynamic trio. Bowers was getting active on Thursday as his size and physicality was too much to handle in the paint. Bowers had a handful of and-1 finishes where even a foul wasn’t enough to stop him from scoring in the paint. Bowers also did his work early by getting good position on the block to either catch and score or put himself in position for the offensive rebound.
