Bulldogs in Lead For Ridgeland Athlete

One of the fastest rising stars in the state of Georgia was in town for G-Day this past weekend. Devin Bowman made his first trip to the University of Georgia and was greeted by none other then Head Coach Mark Richt. Bowman comes from a line of division one talent as his two brothers both play for D-1 schools, Adarius Bowman (Oklahoma State) and Micheal Bowman (Alabama). Bowman has been making a name for himself throughout the state of Georgia and currently has offers from Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Notre Dame and Oklahoma State. Bowman has been gaining a lot of interest from Alabama and expects them to offer soon.

Bowman came away really impressed with the Bulldogs and enjoyed the one-on-one time he had with coach Richt when he rode with Richt over to the G-Day game in his truck. Bowman and Richt had a chance to talk about football, academics, and why Georgia wants Bowman. Bowman has stated the only other school that will compete with them for him is Alabama, but the Tide has not offered yet. Currently Bowman has stated that the Bulldogs are in the lead.

Bowman has became a fan of current Bulldog Brandon Boykin and spend most of the game watching him, but he paid attention to the offense as well, as he does not know for certain where the Bulldogs would play him. Most people think Bowman would play corner for Georgia and with him coming in at 6-0 you know that makes coach Lakatos happy.
