VMI’s Zach Bowers brings size, versatility, and next-man-up value to the kicking game
Zach Bowers is a redshirt sophomore kicker/punter for VMI in 2026, listed at 6'1" and 175 pounds, and his biggest selling point is roster flexibility: he gives the Keydets coverage in both kicking roles while developing in the program.[1][3] Public stat pages currently show limited game production, so the best read on him is as a developmental specialist with multi-role utility rather than a proven volume-stat weapon yet.[2][10] If you need a steady, team-first leg who can grow into a reliable kicking option, Bowers fits the profile; if you need a finished product with deep statistical proof, he is still an evaluation project.[1][2][3]
