Joe Bowman gives UTEP a reliable leg with big-time kickoff juice
Bowman’s value is his combination of **leg strength** and roster flexibility: in the 2024 season at UTEP, he handled kickoffs, punts, and a field-goal try, with 16 kickoffs for 847 yards and a 52.94-yard average plus 3 punts for 78 yards.[1][3] EA Sports rated him a 70 OVR with **91 kick power** and **71 kick accuracy**, which fits the profile of a specialist who can flip field position even when the box score is modest.[4] If you want a kicker who can also cover emergency punting duties, Bowman is a practical depth piece; if you need a high-volume, proven FG producer, his limited make-opportunity track record is the caution flag.[1][3]
