Peyton Bowen is an American football safety for the Oklahoma Sooners.
Early life and high school
Bowen grew up in Denton, Texas and attended John H. Guyer High School.[1] He intercepted 12 passes and broke up 23 passes in three varsity seasons at Guyer.[2]
Recruitment
Bowen was rated a five-star recruit by ESPN and initially committed Notre Dame over offers from Alabama, Oklahoma, and USC.[3] He later flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to Oregon.[4] However, the following day Bowen changed his commitment a second time and signed his National Letter of Intent to play at Oklahoma.[5] He later explained that his decision was due to a paperwork issue as Oregon had not sent him a letter of intent to sign before the start of the early signing period.[6]
