Boston College’s Owen McGowan brings high-motor linebacker instincts and versatile toughness
McGowan arrives at Boston College as a physical, high-production linebacker with a quarterback’s toughness: as a prep senior in 2020-21 he logged 45 tackles, 2 sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and also contributed at QB and running back, finishing his high school career with 362 tackles and 12 touchdowns. That two-way background suggests instinct, competitiveness, and football IQ, while his All-Scholastic/MVP résumé and A-average academics point to a disciplined, reliable fit for a program that values versatility and effort.
