veteran Fordham defensive back with proven takeaway chops
JQ Bowers is best known as a ball-hawking Fordham defensive back who delivered in big moments, including an interception in the 2015 win over Army and a team-high 12 tackles in Fordham’s 2022 FCS playoff loss to New Hampshire[2][6][7]. His calling card is instincts, toughness, and playmaking—he’s the kind of safety who shows up around the football and raises the defense’s intensity when the game gets messy[2][6]. If you want a reliable, physical, takeaways-first defender, Bowers fits the profile.
