It has not taken very long for USC's freshman class to make an impact on the field. The Trojans' young talent is a huge part of the reason that they control their destiny in the College Football Playoff race entering the month of November.
In a recent story, Billy Tucker of ESPN ranked the top 40 freshmen in college football. Coming in at No. 24 on the list was USC tight end Mark Bowman.
"Bowman reclassified and could still be playing high school football. Instead, the four-star recruit is starting at tight end for USC," Tucker wrote. "The freshman was trending toward a breakout after catching six passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns against Louisiana, but he then missed three games with an injury. He caught three passes for 79 yards in his
return against Ohio State, including a sensational 70-yard catch-and-run where he hurdled a defender and broke multiple tackles. His reliable hands have made him a useful high-volume target in the Trojans' passing game when healthy."
Bowman and the Trojans were off this past week. They will be back in action this Saturday for a massive road test at Indiana.
