South Florida may not be Power Five, but there is an opportunity to play.

Orlando is close to home and former Auburn head coach Gus Malzhan is leading UCF

While UCF wasn’t among the teams that recruited Bowman heavily the first time around, things have certainly changed for the Orlando program.

Cristobal will make Miami a national power again. With a former five-star chomp in 2023, this could be one heck of a pickup for the Canes if they land Bowman.

Other teams will be in play for Bowman, but the Floridian schools are probably the best bet right now.
