Do not sleep on Ryan Bowman.
Of course, it would be understandable if you did. After all, the redshirt junior outside linebacker is not 6-foot-5 and 262 pounds, like fellow starter Joe Tryon. He’s a former walk-on — not a consensus four-star recruit, like 6-4, 275-pound true freshman Laiatu Latu. And after exploding for 5.5 sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss in his redshirt freshman season, Bowman managed just one sack and 4.5 tackles for loss in 14 games last fall.
But, to reiterate: don’t sleep on Ryan Bowman.
