Montana State’s ball-hawking, All-America safety and preseason Big Sky Defensive MVP
In the 2025 season, Dowler emerged as a high-impact defensive back for Montana State, finishing with 91 tackles, 6 interceptions, and 2 pick-sixes while earning Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year, Consensus First-Team All-America, and team captain honors. He stands out for playmaking range, physical tackling, and a knack for turning momentum with takeaways, including a championship-clinching interception return against Montana. He also brings leadership and resilience after working through injury setbacks, making him a strong fit for teams that want a vocal, instinctive, turnover-producing safety who can change games.
