USF freshman LB Bowen Drewes brings Aquinas pedigree and downhill toughness
Bowen Drewes is a 6-foot-1, 215-pound true freshman linebacker at South Florida who arrived from St. Thomas Aquinas, a program known for producing disciplined, physical defenders.[2][5] His main differentiators are compact size, linebacker frame, and proven winning background—he’s listed as a two-time state champion, which points to a player comfortable in high-pressure, team-first environments.[3][5] For a team fit, he looks like a developmental linebacker with a strong baseline of toughness and competitiveness rather than a stat-padding flash player, making him most appealing to staffs that value reliable culture and upside.[2][5]
