The Mesquite Poteet (Texas) product chose Oklahoma football over offers from Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Notre Dame and Ohio State among others.
McGowan is the No. 14 running back in the 2020 class according to Rivals.com. He currently ranks as the No. 32 player in the state of Texas and the No. 202 recruit in the country.
The 5-foot-11, 215-pound McGowan is a unique blend of both power and speed. He can run in between the tackles, break away from defenders with game-breaking speed and catches the ball out of the backfield as well as any back in the 2020 class – making him a perfect fit in Lincoln Riley’s offense.
