Late in the 2015 recruiting cycle tight end Nick Bowers made a great life choice when he flipped his commitment from Pitt to Penn State. The Kittanning native was one of two late flips from the Panthers that cycle by the Nittany Lions, with Altoona native, and current San Francisco 49er, Kevin Givens being the other.
After battling injuries his first two years on campus, Bowers appeared three games as a redshirt sophomore in 2017. This included catching his first career touchdown against Nebraska.
In 2018, Bowers saw his role grow.
