Josh Bowman brings size, rim protection, and efficient freshman minutes to Chattanooga
In the 2025-26 season, Chattanooga freshman Josh Bowman flashed real utility as a 6'9" forward/center, appearing in 23 games with 8 starts and averaging 3.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.0 block in just 12.1 minutes per game while shooting 49.2% from the field[1][2]. What stands out is the defensive upside: he’s already giving the Mocs interior length and shot-blocking, and his early recruiting profile labeled him a late-rising Alabama prospect with multiple scholarship offers and top-10 state recognition[6][9]. For a team, that reads like a big who can grow into a reliable rotation anchor if his frame, touch, and foul discipline keep trending up[11].
