Bowers transferred to West Virginia in May 2025 after beginning his college career at Iowa Central Community College.

A 5-foot-10, 191 pound back, Bowers racked up more than 1,300 offensive yards during his freshman season and added nearly 500 more on special teams. Even at the junior college level, that performance put him on the map for Power Four programs: he also received an offer from Florida State.

Bowers will have two years remaining of eligibility at his next school.
